The Voice UK had another week of blind auditions on tonight's (February 6) episode, as the coaches continued to build their teams, but the competition got more difficult as there were limited places left.

To celebrate The Voice UK's 10th anniversary, each coach received a special gift to signify their contribution to the show, themed on each coach's number of years on air.

Anne-Marie's gift was based on the tradition of giving something made of paper to mark a one year anniversary – though The Voice UK team gave her an odd gift in the form of a toilet roll that had her pictures of her printed on it.

Holding the loo roll, Anne-Marie said: "Toilet paper? Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary!"

Will.i.am received a tin of Heinz beans that had his face and name printed on the cover to celebrate his time as the longest-serving coach on the show. He has been part of The Voice UK since it first began in 2012.

Tom Jones is celebrating his seventh year as a coach on the show and received a pair of copper Welsh dragon cufflinks.

Olly, meanwhile, celebrated his fourth year on The Voice UK with a red silk robe, as he read the note accompanied with the gift: "The Voice is celebrating its 10th birthday, congratulations on your silk anniversary."

Viewers were left confused by the random selection of gifts for The Voice UK judges, with the Anne-Marie themed toilet paper seeming the most bizarre.

The Voice UK continues on Saturday at 8:30pm on ITV.

  • Support for Keir Starmer plunges to new low, poll suggests

    Public support for Sir Keir Starmer has fallen to its lowest level since he was elected Labour leader, new polling suggests. A survey released by Deltapoll on Monday found that Sir Keir’s net approval rating has crashed to zero, with Boris Johnson now enjoying a 10 per cent cushion over the opposition leader. While the significant decline in Mr Johnson’s own standing in the middle of the pandemic coincided with a steady level of support for Sir Keir, their fortunes have since reversed as the covid-19 vaccines have rolled out. Between 21-23 January and 24-26 February, Sir Keir’s approval rating has tumbled from 14 per cent, while Mr Johnson’s rating has increased from 1 per cent to 10 per cent. Sir Keir is now 12 per cent down on his approval rating on 23 April, shortly after he saw off the pro-Corbyn MP Rebecca Long-Bailey and moderate rival Lisa Nandy to secure the Labour leadership. The findings come amid mounting tensions within Labour over the party’s approach during the pandemic, with Sir Keir facing claims from the hard-Left that his “constructive” opposition is failing to cut through with the public.

  • Channel migrants seeking UK asylum are smuggling themselves back to France, says charity

    Channel migrants seeking asylum in the UK are smuggling themselves back to France because of Priti Patel’s crackdown, says a UK charity. Care4Calais has revealed the case of an Iranian who came to Britain on a small boat but has since managed to return to Dunkirk after becoming disillusioned with his experience in the controversial Napier barracks used to house Channel migrants in Folkestone, Kent. He told volunteers working for the charity that he had smuggled himself back to France on a lorry. “England does not have any law,” he told them. “I don’t have a good memory of the place. It is broken from the inside.” Napier barracks was at the centre of a near-riot when migrants being kept on the former military base after an outbreak of Covid-19 went on the rampage and set fire to buildings in protest at the Home Office’s refusal to move them to a hotel. The Home Secretary has been under pressure to close down the barracks as an asylum centre, including from local Tories because of the conditions, location and spartan regime. Care4Calais’s founder Clare Moseley also disclosed that two young men from El Salvador who had come to the UK to seek asylum had also applied to the Home Office to be repatriated, but had been told there was a waiting list before they could be returned home. “Their father is in the military and the family was being pursued by terrorist and criminal groups so he sent them to England, but they are now stuck in Manchester. All they want to do is work and don’t like relying on the state,” said Ms Moseley. She blamed the increasingly tough restrictions and hostility that the migrants faced for their decisions to seek to leave the UK. The Government is seeking to deter illegal migrants from making the perilous journey across the Channel through increased patrols and surveillance on French beaches and a tougher approach to asylum. A new law, introduced after Brexit, makes any migrant’s asylum claim inadmissible if they have been in a safe third country before their arrival in the UK. This weekend it emerged that Ms Patel is drawing up plans for smugglers to face life sentences, rather than the current maximum of 14 years. A policy paper due this month is expected to tighten up what ministers claim is the “broken” asylum system by placing curbs on “litigious” human rights claimants who seek to delay their deportation and encourage judges to take a tougher stance against asylum seekers with criminal records.

  • John Swinney discloses Alex Salmond legal advice after caving in over no confidence vote threat

    Nicola Sturgeon's deputy is to finally hand over the SNP government's "key" secret legal advice for Alex Salmond's judicial review after he faced being forced to resign if he refused. John Swinney caved in to opposition demands for the advice to be published after a majority of MSPs swung behind a Tory motion of no confidence in him, which could have been voted on this afternoon. In a humiliating about-turn, he said he had decided to release the advice "to counter the false claims being made by some." He said it would be provided to parliament "immediately" after legal notifications are issued to "individuals impacted." Mr Swinney was in danger of losing his job after Ms Sturgeon - who appears tomorrow (weds) before the Holyrood inquiry investigating the scandal - recused herself from the legal advice decision. The First Minister did not appear at the Scottish Government's Monday Covid briefing for the first time this year amid claims she was closeted away with her legal team ahead of her appearance. Douglas Ross, the Scottish Tory, welcomed Mr Swinney's about-turn after the Deputy First Minister ignored two previous votes by MSPs for the advice to be given to the inquiry.
