Pixie Lott was left with watery eyes in the final of The Voice Kids.
The Turn It Up hitmaker and reigning Voice champion had a stellar team under her wing this series, with four young powerhouse vocalists making it to the final.
Team Pixie – consisting of four girls – gave it their all in the final battle, nailing all the notes in Climb Every Mountain from The Sound of Music.
Tiara-Leigh, Hayla, Martha, and Elyssa had their coach in a trance as they sang, both in rehearsals and in the studio.
Pixie, 32, also told her fellow coaches that it ‘blew [her] away.’
Showering her team with compliments, Pixie said: ‘Oh my gosh, I’m so proud of you girls. I can’t even begin.

‘Your confidence has grown unbelievably. It’s like I’ve got four different girls in front of me.’
And it wasn’t just Pixie full of praise for her team, as even her competitors admitted it was pretty amazing.
Fellow coach Danny Jones of McFly gave Pixie a high-five, telling her: ‘I mean, I hate to say it but, Pixie, you have an amazing team there.’
‘What a joy!’, he praised.
‘What you’ve just achieved is so special. It was incredible.’

‘Each individual sang their part but you came together at the end and that was really great.’

The Black Eyed Peas star added that, when they are older, the girls will look back on their performance and they will realise how ‘fearless’ it made them.
Ronan Keating added of the performance: ‘I loved the crescendo at the end, I felt like i was witnessing something massive.’
Unfortunately, only one finalist could make it through from the battles, with Pixie choosing a very emotional Hayla as her champ.
The rest of the girl group immediately rallied around her for a hug, while Pixie praised the remaining finalists for their hard work and ‘gifts’.
Reacting to the performance on Twitter, viewers were seriously moved.
‘Best team performance of the night for me’, one said.
‘All the kids were amazing tonight but these girls together singing were a wow wow wow. They brought tears to my eyes. Well done girls you all sang so beautiful’, praised another.
‘What an outstanding performance!! They were all amazing’, another agreed.

One echoed: ‘Pixie, you’ve done it again. These young girls did amazing and yes would make a fab group too x’
This isn’t the first time Pixie has teared up this series.
Pixie – who married model Oliver Cheshire last year – was left with goosebumps in the blind auditions when one young performer sang her wedding song.
The Mama Do hitmaker was stunned when Abigail, 10, covered Bryan Adams’ (Everything I Do) I Do It for You, which she danced to at her wedding to husband Oliver, 35.
She initially chose the track because she enjoys listening to ‘old songs’ with her grandparents, saying this one in particular reminded her of her nan and grandad.

But little did she know that the song would have a deeper meaning for one of the coaches.
After being left amazed by the performance and as her family sobbed with pride in the wings, Pixie told the young singer from Hartlepool: ‘That song was actually the first dance at my wedding!
‘So, thank you so much for singing that and you did it so beautifully.’
