THE VOICE UK SERIES

ItвЂ™s a job to be proud of and I was just like вЂIвЂ™m not going to give up this career I worked so hard to getвЂ™. 'Becoming a fireman was another amazing achievement for me because I canвЂ™t believe I managed to do that вЂ“ I used to be a lazy musician drinking beer all the time. I never expected to be super famous and I actually got more fame than I expected. But I always saw The Voice as a good platform. Stevie has since returned to his job as a fireman, telling the Radio Times back in 2017: 'I think people saw it as a bad thing when I went back. Mentored by Ricky Wilson and beating fellow finalists Lucy O'Byrne, Emmanuel Nwamadi and Sasha Simone, Stevie was in pole position for the top spot with his debut single, a cover of Adam Levine's Lost Stars, before going in at number six. Scottish singer Stevie McCrorie is the only winner of The Voice UK to land a top ten single. In 2018, it was announced that Kevin would be replacing Marti Pellow as the lead singer of '90s band Wet Wet Wet - who famously spent 15 weeks at number one with Love Is All Around, from the soundtrack of Four Weddings And A Funeral. Kevin's winning single All You Good Friends, peaked at no.24, but his debut album Recover did not chart. The show threw up more late '90s/early noughties nostalgia when Sean from Five also tried out on the show - but he too failed to make it past the Blind Auditions. In fact, Hear'Say's Danny failed to get past the first round of the show when he auditioned in 2013.

Liberty X singer Kevin Simm went on to win The Voice UK's fifth series - after losing to HearвЂ™Say in Popstars way back when in 2001. That same year he was dropped by Polydor Records. 'I've been working hard in the studio for the last six months and I hope I can pass on some of the things I've learnt whilst making my album to the talented singers on Jennifer's team,' he added. He returned to The Voice in 2018 as a guest mentor for Team Jennifer, alongside Leona Lewis. His debut album, titled Evolve, charted at number 36 in the UK Album Charts, but he failed to reach the Top 75 with his first single Unsteady. The 25-year-old singer from Warrington was mentored by former coach Jennifer Hudson, beating off fellow finalists Into the Ark, Jamie Miller and Michelle John to secure a recording deal.

Mo Jamil won series six of The Voice UK, which had just moved to ITV from BBC One.
