Samuel Buttery

The first series of the talent show The Voice UK began broadcasting on 24 March 2012. The coaches are Tom Jones, Jessie J, Danny ODonoghue of The Script and will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas. Each coach chose who they wanted on their team by pressing their I Want You button. When one or more coaches turned around, the contestant chose which team he or she wanted to join. If none of the coaches pressed their button by the end of the contestants song, all four coaches turned around to give advice to the contestant who would not progress in the show. The show was won by Leanne Mitchell, mentored by Tom Jones, who took the £100,000 and record deal with Universal Republic Records, with Tyler James and Bo Bruce becoming the joint runners-up (mentored by will.i.am and Danny ODonoghue respectively). Vince Kidd, mentored by Jessie J took fourth place.
