Swindon twins Billy and Louie are runners up of The Voice.

Ava, from Bristol, was crowned as the 2024 champion after being coached by McFly's Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher.

The twins, 21, smashed the competition and won over all of the celebrity judges with their blind audition on Saturday, September 14.

After joining Sir Tom’s team, they sailed through each stage to progress into the final and said they were “beyond excited” to sing with the star.

During the final, the twins sang together competing against three other contestants and later sang the gospel song 'Farther along’ with Sir Tom, which has been covered by big names like Elvis Presley.

After their first performance, Sir Tom told them: “I can’t fault you in any way. I’m very, very proud of you.”

The day before the final, the pair said: "Our journey on The Voice UK will come to an end! We’ve been busy rehearsing with our amazing coach, Sir Tom Jones for the final!

"We cannot believe that we made it to this stage, it feels like we’ve only just come to terms with getting a 4 chair turn in our blind audition, let alone getting to the final!

"Tune in to watch our final performance as well as our trio with Sir Tom. We are beyond excited to be singing with such a legend and be among 3 other insane vocalists in the final."

The duo have made Wiltshire proud and attracted plenty of support from local people and businesses, including Westcott Place Club and Prospect Hospice, who posted on social media wishing them luck ahead of the final.

Billy and Louie were just 16 when they made their first TV appearance on Little Mix: The Search, and have also released an EP with six songs.

But for those sad that they will no longer be a regular fixture on our television screens, there are still plenty of opportunities to catch them locally. 

The twins will be doing a Christmas lights switch-on later this year and have an upcoming show at the Wyvern in 2025.
