SIR Tom Jones will be seen adding another contestant to his team in The Voice tonight after being blown away by a teenager singing Justin Bieber.
The 76-year-old music legend bags himself a new team member after he is the only judge to recognise the potential in 19-year-old Septimus Prime in the sixth episode of the sixth series.
And it is possible that Sir Tom is a Belieber as Septimus’s song of choice is the chart topping tune Love Yourself.
The Londoner is seen singing in tune to the track as the studio audience cheer along.
Septimus also has a large number of family member’s on hand to support him on the show during the night.
Coming from a big family, the teen has a brood of younger siblings who are all proudly watching him beside show host Emma Willis.
In the same episode, Tom is seen turning for 18-year-old Nadine McGhee who wows him with a rendition of Lay Me Down by Sam Smith.
The Runcorn based hopeful automatically makes it into Team Tom after none of the other coaches hit their buttons for her performance.
Elsewhere in the show, Sir Tom misses out on bagging 19-year-old Keziah Rodel from Surrey after all four judges turn.
He also sees Jennifer Hudson steal 27-year-old Stacey Skeete away from him after they both turn for her rendition of the Mary Mary classic Shackles.
And will.i.am proves to be the triumphant coach when he and Tom both turn for Lia White, 17, from Nottingham who gives a solo performance of the Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney tune FourFiveSeconds.
ITV’s The Voice has seen itself in a ratings war with BBC One’s Gary Barlow fronted talent show Let It Shine after both shows launched at the start of January with a time overlap.
Initially, Let It Shine proved to be the star attraction of Saturday night entertainment – pulling in a bigger audience.
However The Voice eventually overtook the show – with 6.3 million viewers tuning in last month.
The Voice has continued to maintain a narrow lead over Let It Shine since they both aired episode two of their respective series – with last weekend’s episode of The Voice pulling 5.29 million viewers.
