Cate McHugh is the winner of The Voice UK 2026. She was crowned in the final on Saturday 31 October, singing for Team Tom, and gave Sir Tom Jones a winner in his last series as a full-time coach.
Her solo was The Beatles' "Blackbird". Then she and Jones closed with John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads", a duet that doubled as his goodbye. He had confirmed in September that he would not return.
The other finalists
- Frank Raven: "...Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears, and a duet of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You".
- Monique Nicholson-Porter: "Heal" by Tom Odell, and a duet of "Shackles (Praise You)".
- Naná Aldrin-Quaye: "Hello" by Adele, and a duet of "RITMO".
