Guy, 39, was particularly moved, saying: ‘I’m so proud. There are so many deserving people up there, but you are special, Bella. Go out there and kill it, I know you will.’ 

Following the announcement, Bella, who hails from Sydney, commanded attention as she performed her new single Higher.

All four coaches were blown away, with country music star Keith Urban remarking: ‘If you’re not a believer at this point, you’ve got to check your pulse. That was amazing.’
