The Voice: Special song battle between real-life couple Jenna and Yorke ends with a shocking twist

Fans of The Voice were given a very unexpected treat on Sunday night.

Contestants Jenna Hudson, 26, and Yorke Heath, 29,  a real-life couple, were forced to co head to head in the episode’s battle rounds.

The face-off was the first time a competing couple were nominated for a song battle against each other.

Battling it out to keep their slot on mentor Kate Miller Heidke’s team, Jenny and Yorke chose the Paramore track The Only Exception.

In the end it was Yorke who emerged triumphant besting Jenna in the singing stakes.

While admitting competing against her partner in front of a live studio audience was ‘strange’ Jenna added that she was happy with the result regardless.

It seemed strange at first, to be on stage in a battle against your long-term partner,’ she said.

‘But I really enjoyed it. I am so happy he won, he really deserves it. It really is his time to shine.’

Shortly after the results were announced, Yorke took to the microphone and asked for everyone’s attention and for Jenna to join the stage. 

He then set studio audience and mentor hearts a-flutter by going down on one knee and proposing to his ladylove.

Jenna added that the proposal came completely out of left-field.

 ‘I was so surprised when he asked me on stage, I had absolutely no idea what he was about to do,’ she said.

‘I felt a little awkward, as I remember thinking it was the Judges turn to talk, not ours!’ continued Jenna.

Thankfully, she said ‘yes’ and Yorke admitted that the wedding entertainment has already been secured with Guy Sebastian offering to sing at the couple’s wedding.

‘It all became official, when I saw all the judges running on stage, I saw LeAnn and Kate hugging Jenna,’ he said.

‘I was thrilled when Guy Sebastian came up to us and offered to sing at our wedding!’ 

The engagement ring Yorke chose quite the sparkler for Jenna, giving her a  classic yellow gold solitaire ring, with a natural round brilliant cut diamond, by Adelaide jeweller Gerard McCabe.

‘I remember thinking, “don’t lose the Gerard McCabe ring,”‘ he said.

‘I had it in my pocket all day and I was nervous it was going to fall out on stage, or that I would lose it.’
