Get to know

Irene first came to the UK in 1995 to perform in Miss Saigon on the West End, but her talents led her to reside here permanently! Her son persuaded her to do the Voice and she’s decided it’s time to take a leap of faith and do something for herself.

After blasting out the Bette Midler classic ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ she got all of the coaches singing along before Ricky and Will turned for a pitch-off, that resulted in a place on the mighty #TeamWill.
