Singing is in Andrea’s genes, says ‘Voice’ winner’s auntie Philomena

Newly-crowned winner of The Voice, Andrea Begley, is set to be an even bigger star than her aunt, queen of country, Philomena Begley.

The partially-sighted Co Tyrone singer is the show’s second winner and her prize includes a €100,000 record deal. The 27-year-old civil servant said she was still in shock when she spoke to RTÉ’s Miriam O’Callaghan yesterday.

Andrea, whose coach was Danny O’Donoghue from The Script, beat fellow Northern Ireland contestant and favourite, Leah McFall.
