The Voice UK viewers wowed by former Tracy Beaker child star Alicia Hooper

Fans of The Voice UK were treated to an incredible performance on Saturday night by a former noughties child star.

Alicia Hooper, who starred as Amber Hearst in Children's BBC's Tracy Beaker alongside Dani Harmer wowed the audience but sadly none of the four coaches as she belted out a fine rendition of Pink's 'All I Know So Far'.

Joined by her father, partner and daughter as she headed to the studio, the 35-year old revealed she has been singing from a young age and that she was now a music teacher.

As she continued she revealed she starred in the hit children's TV show, where she played the troublemaker character in series two.

Alicia's performance went down a storm on Twitter, with one user commenting: "The singing teacher Alicia Hooper from Newport was absolutely outstanding. Why did nobody turn? Then low and behold you turn for Mr Pop from Australia singing a Script song which he crucified, Danny you must be gutted at that rendition, Alicia was so much better!"

Another wrote: "Alicia Hooper (Amber from Tracey Beaker) has an incredible voice, so surprised none of judges turned for her."

A third added: "Amber from Tracey Beaker on The Voice! She was so so so good. Chairs should have turned."

And a fourth said: "She was great. I was stunned when she said she was Amber, me and my kids watched Tracey Beaker all the time. Brilliant actress and amazing singer."

Also in Saturday's instalment, meanwhile, Anne Marie revealed that she has a special tattoo in tribute to her fellow coach Sir Tom Jones.

The 31-year old shared that she had 28 tattoos, as well as piercings, and that one of them signifies how close she is to Sir Tom, who she has appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox with.

Anne-Marie showed viewers at home a close-up of the tattoo, which is inked in his handwriting.

She told the audience as she held up her hand to show off the tattoo, which says 'we'll be okay', that: "All my tattoos are written by friends – and I got Tom's."
