A Nigerian, Mo Adeniran, has emerged winner of the 2017 edition of British television talent show, The Voice UK,

The talent hunt competition was created by John de Mol, based on the concept of The Voice of Holland and began airing on BBC One on 24 March 2012.

After months of amazing performances, battle rounds and public votes, Mo Adeniran saw off competition from both Into The Ark and Jamie Miller to be crowned this year’s winner of The Voice UK during Sunday night’s live final.

Thrown off guard as the result was announced, Mo looked on in shock whilst his mentor, Jennifer Hudson, immediately burst into tears of happiness.
