You’ve probably heard singer Anne-Marie’s unique vocals on the radio.

She’s had plenty of hit songs – though to many, she’s best known for appearing on ITV singing competition The Voice UK as one of four coaches, alongside Sir Tom Jones.

Or perhaps you recognise the oft-pink-haired songstress from her appearances on Channel 4’s Celebrity Gogglebox.

Ringing any bells? Find out just who Anne-Marie is here, and check out her most famous tunes.

Anne-Marie has been releasing music since her breakthrough nearly five years ago, but she has always had showbiz in her blood.

As a child, she appeared in two West End productions: Les Misérables when she was six, and Whistle Down the Wind when she was 12.

In the latter production, she would appear alongside Jessie J, who as it happens has also been a coach on The Voice UK.

Anne-Marie joined the long-running TV series as a coach in 2021, replacing Meghan Trainor on the panel after the US star exited the show following her pregnancy news.

She won her first series as coach, with Scottish act Craig Eddie, and is back for the 2022 series along with Sir Tom, Will.i.am and Olly Murs.
