CHERELLE Basquine has progressed to the live shows of BBC talent contest The Voice.
Millions of viewers last night (Sunday) saw the year-old carer, from West Croydon, triumph in the 'battle' round of the show.
Cherelle was pitted against Welsh singer Elise Evans in the sing-off, with the pair performing Pixie Lott's chart hit It's All About Tonight.
The four judges were divided on who performed best but the decision rested with the pair's mentor Tom Jones, who opted to send thje Croydon girl through.
Cherelle will now go forward to perform in the live shows, with the winner of The Voice earning themselves a record deal.
She initially made it through the audition stages despite receiving mixed reviews for her performance of Cheryl Cole's Call My Name, a song she later told the Advertiser she didn't want to perform.
