Liverpool The Voice contestant Deana in final after moving Tom Jones to tears

Liverpool The Voice contestant Deana sailed through to the final tonight after her performance reduced Sir Tom Jones to tears.

The Merseyside teacher sang a stunning rendition of Eva Cassidy's Autumn Leaves as she battled it out for a place in the final.

And when the camera panned to her mentor the Welsh singer couldn't contain his emotion - with his eyes swimming with tears.

After the performance the music legend told Deana: " I'm so glad you picked that song because it's one of my favourite songs, it's beautiful, and you sang it so tremendously".

Fans of the 23-year-old from Liverpool, took to Twitter after her performance with many saying how beautiful her voice was.

Elaine Taylor tweeted: "Deana...beautiful voice. Brought tears to my eyes too as well as Tom Jones. Fabulous..winner for me."

Michael Lovstad wrote: "Deana what a voice. Angelic." Meanwhile Twitter user Jeannie wrote: "Oh my goodness what a beautiful singer Deana [on] The Voice is just amazing.
