The format sees contestants selected through auditions and trained by the four coaches who continue to mentor them throughout the duration of the competition.

It features various stages including Battle Rounds, Knockouts and Blind Auditions.

The news of the Mullingar native’s involvement in the popular show comes following the anticipation of the Guinness Ireland documentary which sees Horan travel around Ireland alongside Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi.

Meanwhile, Niamh Nolan from Limerick impressed the coaches on The Voice UK in recent days following her blind audition.

The Kilcolman native sang Shallow and saw music legends Tom Jones and will.i.am turn in their chairs for her. Tom Jones even gave the singer a standing ovation following her performance. 

Niall Horan’s Homecoming: The Road to Mullingar with Lewis Capaldi is set to air on Virgin Media One this Sunday, October 16 at 10pm.
