The Voice Kids final sparks backlash as fans complain about format of the show
Fans of The Voice Kids were up in arms on Saturday when the winners were crowned - bringing the show to what many felt was an abrupt end.
Singing duo Shanice and Andrea Nyandoro - who were part of Team Will - were declared the winners of the 2023 series defeating Ronan Keating’s act Niamh Noade, Danny Jones’ Will Edgar, and Pixie Lott’s hopeful Hayla-Essen Danns.
The two winning stars, who are 11-years-old, bagged a special family holiday to Universal Orlando Resort in Florida as their prize.
Fans of the ITV singing competition were disappointed, however, that the show was over so fast as the format of the series included just three live rounds.
