Zim grandmother steals the show on The Voice UK
The Voice UK has returned and it is everything we hoped it would be!
The 16-year-old Donel Mangena from South Hampton is possibly the UK’s next big star!
He sang an incredible rendition of ‘Cold Water’, adding an African flavour to the Major Lazer feat. Justin Bieber & MØ track - and the world is loving him for it, including all four judges.
The judges all turned for him, starting a bidding war to coach him!
Jennifer Hudson said proudly: "I am willing to fist fight. You are worth fighting for, you are a star and you are ready to go.”
Not only did Donel steal hearts, his Zimbabwean grandmother was so proud of her grandson that she
showed off her moves on stage and it is the cutest thing we have seen in a long time!
You have to watch the incredible moment.
Donel and his grandmother definitely also impressed the viewers
Donel’s grandma on @thevoiceuk just won the show in my opinion😭 what a queen😂😂😍
