With performers and judges alike reduced to tears at points in the show, it is safe to say the live final of The Voice UK has been an emotional roller coaster.

will.i.am admitted to 'tearing up' during Deana Almsley's rendition of Adele's Hometown Glory. "I don't know why that... Well, I know why it touched me," he began.

"I kind of teared up. I teared up – stop trying to play tough," he berated himself. "I teared up because I see the person that you are."

Deana's performance won her unanimous praise from the judges, with Jennifer Hudson calling her "a natural" and Sir Tom Jones saying "she can sing".

will.i.am's were not the only tears on tonight's show, however. At the end of her solo performance of Lewis Capaldi's Someone You Loved, Molly Hocking was left wiping away tears as well.

"I'm so nervous," she said, when quizzed on her emotional performance by presenter Emma Willis.

Deana and Molly are battling against Jimmy Balito and Bethzienna Williams to be crowned this year's winner. The results will be announced shortly.
