It’s been one explosive season of The Voice this year – but in Sunday night’s grand finale, it all came to a nail-biting end when Diana Rouvas was crowned season eight’s winner.
It was a tight race to triumph, with the Team George singer facing off against Team Kelly’s Zeek Power, and Team Delta’s Jordan Anthony and Daniel Shaw.
Meanwhile, Team Guy had no artists left in the competition, and with no mentoring left to do, the Before I Go singer had so much time on his hands that he even jokingly played mini-golf behind the coaches’ famous red chairs at one point during the night.
Diana admitted she was “overwhelmed” after host Sonia Kruger announced she had won.
“I’m overwhelmed. I am dribbling everywhere. I’m honoured. Thank you Australia,” she said.
Diana’s mentor Boy George, who had earlier been brought to tears by her rendition of Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You, was ecstatic about the victory.
“This show has been, this season has been incredible. Like ridiculous. I am just delighted for Diana, delighted for her. Delighted,” he said.

As part of her winner’s prize, Diana takes home $100,000 in prize money and receives a recording contract with EMI Recorded Music.
