Sam beat three other incredibly talented singers - 12-year-old Gracie-Jayne (team Pixie), 11-year-old rapper Lil' Shan Shan (team Will) and 9-year-old Keira (team Jessie J) - to win the top prize.

Apart from their solo performances, it was the first time each finalist was also given the opportunity to duet with their coach.

What else happened in The Voice Kids?

Technical difficulties

Presenter Emma Willis had to step in and explain that there were technical issues ahead of Gracie-Jayne's performance after the singer was unable to hear a musical cue.

When the presenter introduced her performance, Gracie-Jayne did not hear the music signalling her to start and there was a a short period of silence.

Emma returned to the stage and said: "Hi, so during live shows we have technical difficulties. That is what is happening right now and I think Gracie-Jayne couldn't hear the music."

Gracie-Jayne didn't let the problems affect her performance and she sang a storming rendition of Nina Simone's Feeling Good.
