The Voice Kids winner to be crowned tonight in front of first virtual audience

The Voice Kids will crown its first winner in front of a virtual audience this evening.

Finalists Victoria, Dara, Justine and George will compete this evening to win the ITV show and a bursary towards their musical education.

The champion will also win a dream holiday to Orlando, Florida - though, given the current pandemic, they might have to wait a while until they're able to jet off to the US.

Coaches Will.i.am, Pixie Lott, Paloma Faith and Danny Jones will be performing to an empty studio while their finalists sit in their iconic red chairs.

Tonight's final was pre-filmed last weekend and adhered to social distancing guidelines.

This meant that there was no studio audience, however there will be virtual audience with families watching at home via live streams during filming.

The audience that had watched live also voted for the 2020 winner.

Performers and coaches were able to see the virtual audience, which was shown on screens applauding and cheering on performances throughout the show.

The Voice Kids isn't the only show that has returned to filming with a virtual audience.

Britain's Got Talent is set to return for its live semi finals and grand final with a virtual audience - which won't involve Simon Cowell after his horrific incident.

*The Voice Kids airs tonight at 7.20pm on ITV
