The 48-year-old air conditioning engineer joined Team Will, but which other acts made it through the final blind auditions?
The Voice's blind auditions are now over, and contestants will face... DUN DUN DUN....the Battle Rounds, in which singers face off against each for a place in the live shows. So here's who will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones, Rita Ora and Ricky Wilson completed their teams with tonight.
Andrew Marc, a 48 year old air conditioning engineer from Hereford sang Tina Turner's What's Love Got To Do With It. He gigs three times a week and dresses up as Tina Turner, Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones.
If only Tom Jones' team hadn't already been full, we could have seen Tom Jones turn for a Tom Jones impersonator... Have we said Tom Jones enough?
