The Voice UK audience calls out judges for failing to pick Welsh priest despite his powerful Greatest Showman rendition

The Voice UK features wannabe stars from across the country and on Saturday, September 17 it was the chance for Welsh priest Jordan Spencer to shine.

Unfortunately Jordan from Fishguard did not have any of the judges, which include Welsh icon Tom Jones, turning around in their big red chairs and choosing him for their team after his powerful rendition of A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman - even though the audience was clearly on his side. And it was obvious that the gay priest, who had spoken on the show about his struggles with the church, was disappointed.

With tears in his eyes, he said: "I've gone out there, I've given it my all, there is nothing more I could have given to the song." Before performing, Jordan, who is 26, spoke about being a gay priest and being accepted by the church.
