The Voice winner defends Will.i.am

The Voice Winner Andrea Begley said she was “not surprised” at Will.i.am’s claims that the result of the show was ”so sad” and ”unexplainable” – but said the fact is she was the public’s choice.

Partially sighted Andrea, 27, from Co Tyrone, was crowned the winner of the BBC show last night, beating hot favourite and fellow Northern Ireland contestant Leah McFall, who was on Will.i.am’s team.
