The Voice UK is back on BBC One tonight, but viewers will need to tune in a little later than usual because of the England V Croatia match.
The latest episode of the singing competition airs on Saturday, October 3, from 8.50pm until 10.05pm on ITV1, with Emma Willis returning to host as the coaches make their final decisions over who deserves a place on their teams.
Tonight’s episode is a particularly important one for the competition as it marks the final round of Blind Auditions. With only eight places available on each team, the coaches are facing their last opportunity to complete their line-ups.
What time is The Voice UK on tonight?
The Voice UK starts at 8.50pm tonight, Saturday, October 3, and finishes at 10.05pm.
The programme is airing slightly later than some viewers may expect because of the football earlier in the evening.
The Voice UK tonight
- Date: Saturday, October 3
- Time: 8.50pm–10.05pm
- Channel: ITV1
- Host: Emma Willis
- Coaches: Tom Jones, Will.i.am, Kelly Rowland, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones
- Stage: Final Blind Auditions
The episode will also be available to watch on ITVX for viewers who want to catch up after the television broadcast.
What happens on The Voice UK tonight?
Tonight’s episode brings the Blind Auditions to a close, meaning it is the coaches’ final chance to find singers capable of completing their teams.
Each coach can only take eight artists through, so the pressure is building as the remaining contestants step onto the stage.
The coaches also have the Rewind button, giving them a final opportunity to bring back an artist they previously decided to let go.
Among tonight’s hopefuls is Regan Preece, a rugby-playing teenager from Swansea who has a very personal connection to The Voice UK.
Regan’s mum, Shirley, auditioned for the show around a decade ago and made it through to the Knockouts. Now her son is hoping to continue the family tradition.
The question is whether Regan can impress enough of the coaches to secure his own place in the competition.
Nottingham rapper Nikko has a special request
Another contestant arriving at the Blind Auditions is Nikko, a rapper from Nottingham who has an unusual reason for wanting the coaches to turn around.
Nikko got married just one day before his audition, and says that having a chair spin would be the perfect wedding present.
Whether the coaches give him that gift will be one of the moments to watch during tonight’s episode.
An unusual Chappell Roan performance
Tonight’s auditions also include an operatic twist on a song by Chappell Roan, while a singer known as Robbie Williams’s vocal double steps out of the shadows to try to make a name for himself.
With the Blind Auditions coming to an end, there is little room for error. Contestants have to make an immediate impression because the coaches are running out of spaces.
The Voice UK coaches tonight
The judging panel once again features five coaches with very different musical backgrounds.
Sir Tom Jones is back alongside Will.i.am, Kelly Rowland, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones.
As the final auditions take place, the coaches have to balance the desire to find the strongest voices with the limited number of spaces remaining on their teams.
There is also some lighter entertainment away from the performances, with Danny Jones making a rather flatulent confession, while Sir Tom Jones offers some advice involving leather trousers.
Where can I watch The Voice UK tonight?
The Voice UK is being broadcast on ITV1 tonight from 8.50pm.
If you miss the live broadcast, the episode will also be available to stream and catch up with on ITVX.
The later-than-usual start means viewers should make a note of the 8.50pm start time, particularly if they normally expect The Voice UK to begin earlier in the evening.
What happens after the Blind Auditions?
Tonight’s episode represents a major milestone in the current series because the coaches must finally complete their teams.
Once the Blind Auditions are over, the competition can move on to the next stage, with the successful singers facing a new challenge as they attempt to stay in the running.
For the contestants appearing tonight, however, everything comes down to one performance — and whether one of the five coaches decides to turn a chair.
The Voice UK airs tonight, Saturday, October 3, from 8.50pm to 10.05pm on ITV1, with the episode available to watch on ITVX after broadcast.
