The Voice UK star explains Sir Tom Jones played huge part in her pregnancy
A contestant on The Voice UK has credited Sir Tom Jones for the birth of her son - and wowed the judges on the ITV show with her singing voice.
Singer-songwriter Jazz Morley appeared on the talent show on Saturday night where she performed a rendition of the Fleetwood Mac song, Landslide. Her soaring vocals impressed both Olly Murs, 39, and Sir Tom, 83, who both tapped their buzzers to ask the hopeful to join their teams of singers.
But before taking to the stage, viewers learned more about Jazz and her life as she discussed her transformation from college student to gigging musician. And she also revealed she had crossed paths with Sir Tom in the past - where she met the future father of her child.

I’m changing more nappies in a day than I thought was possible.”
Describing her music career so far, Jazz said: “Since leaving college I’ve pretty much made a living out of singing. In 2019 I was fortunate enough to support Tom Jones for a couple of nights in London. That’s actually where I met my partner, Dan, who was playing piano for me.”

She added: “Baby Buddy might not be here if it wasn’t for Tom!” After performing for the judges, Jazz was delighted when both Sir Tom and Olly turned to pick her for their team. The judges wanted to know more about the hopeful and she explained that she had her past link with Tom and thanked him for her happy family life.
Sir Tom turned for Jazz (ITV)Jazz said: “I’ve come with my other half, Dan, and my baby, Buddy.” She also mentioned that she had supported Tom previously. She said: “It’s where I met my other half. So thank you!” Seeming touched, Sir Tom remarked: “I’m glad it worked out, then!”
Explaining why he turned, Sir Tom praised Jazz and said: “You have a beautiful voice, I could not, not turn!” Jazz then confessed that he was the only judge she had hoped to impress and graciously accepted his offer to join his team.
As the show came to an end, the judges referenced the fact that Tom had been responsible for bringing two people together. Olly asked: “So Tom, you’re responsible for making a baby. What were you doing to make them [click]?” Before he could answer, however, fellow judge Anne Marie, 32, quipped: “He was shaking his hips!” And this comment provoked a laugh from Sir Tom.
Sir Tom was delighted by the family story (ITV)Fans were delighted by Jazz's performance and backed her to go far in the contest. One fan wrote on X/Twitter: "@JazzMorley just saw your performance on the voice and have to say it was amazing, gave me goosebumps."
Some fans criticised the judges for taking so long to turn, with one writing: "Think Jazz Morley deserved a much earlier turn than that. They seem to be leaving it very late in the songs for a lot of the singers, which must be quite stressful for them." While another fan wrote: "#TheVoiceUK This last act Jazz Morley really liked this Song hope she goes far."
