The other judges were suitably impressed with the performances as well, with Camilla Cabello telling Justin: "I was shaking what my mama gave me for you.

"It totally went into freakin' superstar land. The whole room lifted, and it felt joyous." Eventually, Gwen was so impressed by the performance that she chose Justin as the winner of the knockouts.

The 22nd series of The Voice is one which will be a monumental one for both Gwen and her husband Blake Shelton, also a coach, due to his announcement that he will be stepping down from the show once the next season, the 23rd, comes to an end.
