A singer who began her career as a teenager busking on the streets of Cardiff has been crowned winner of The Voice UK.

Cate McHugh, from Llantwit Major in the Vale of Glamorgan, appeared stunned when she heard her name announced on the ITV show, telling viewers "I did it" when asked how she was feeling.

The performer, who has a degenerative sight condition which has left her registered blind, was given a congratulatory hug by her coach Sir Tom Jones on his final appearance on the show after previously announcing he had been "fired".
