The Voice’s four Coaches finally discovered what Tones And I had been doing behind the scenes on Sunday night, as three second-chance artists returned to the stage with the chance to earn a place in the competition.
For weeks, Melanie C, Ronan Keating, Richard Marx and Kate Miller-Heidke have been building their teams, unaware that Tones And I was secretly watching the Blind Auditions from behind the scenes.
Now, the secret is finally out.

Tones revealed she had been watching the auditions and saving artists she believed deserved another opportunity after missing out on a chair turn.
The twist immediately created tension between the Coaches, with Richard questioning why some artists should get a second chance when those already on his team had only one opportunity.
But Tones was more than ready to defend her decisions, reminding Richard that he had been one of the Coaches most willing to admit he had made mistakes during the Blind Auditions.
“I would kindly, respectfully love to make you eat your words,” she told him.
The second-chance artists then returned to the stage to prove Tones had made the right call.
Eighteen-year-old Litia Keni returned with an emotional performance of Beyoncé’s Listen, earning three chair turns before Melanie C secured her for her team.
Carla Venkataya, also 18, followed with The Wizard and I from Wicked, turning two chairs and ultimately joining Team Kate.

But it was 26-year-old Georgia Dabbous who delivered the biggest comeback of the night.
After failing to turn a chair during her first audition, Georgia returned with a powerful performance of Jazmine Sullivan’s Bust Your Windows and this time had all four Coaches fighting for her.
Ronan Keating praised her “captivating” voice, while Tones was left emotional after watching Georgia go from no chairs to a four-chair turn.
“I’m so proud of four chairs. To go from no chairs to four chairs, this is why we have second-chance artists,” Tones said.
The twist has already sparked plenty of discussion among viewers, with the idea of giving rejected artists another opportunity proving popular, while some have questioned the lack of feedback for those who leave the stage without a chair turn.
With the secret now out, the four Coaches know Tones And I has been watching the artists they passed on, adding another layer of competition as the Blind Auditions continue.
The Voice continues 7.30pm tonight, Monday 31st August, on Seven and 7plus.
