Cate McHugh Crowned Winner of The Voice UK

Cate McHugh was crowned winner of The Voice UK. McHugh, from Llantwit Major in the Vale of Glamorgan, appeared stunned when she heard her name announced on the ITV show. Coach Sir Tom Jones gave McHugh a congratulatory hug on his final appearance on the show.

McHugh, 31, said after the show that she had won The Voice and was entirely gobsmacked. Footage shared by McHugh on social media showed family and friends celebrating her victory at a watch party in Cardiff. McHugh began her career as a teenager busking on the streets of Cardiff.

McHugh's prizes include a £50,000 cash prize and a recording contract. Her first ever single is a cover of The Beatles classic Blackbird, and it is now released.
