‘The Voice UK’ video: See Olympian Jazmin Sawyer, David Jackson audition
There is a new episode of “The Voice UK” coming up a little bit later in the day on BBC One, and judging from the new previews out there of two contestants in particular, we are going to get a chance to see some good talent!
Also, we’re going to have a chance to see at least one notable name to people who follow the athletics world closely.

He doesn’t have the story of Jazmin (at least in terms of what we know about him), but at the same time, there is a certain sweetness and heart to what he brings to the table in this performance. It’s a lovely listen, and part of the fun here is knowing that he probably
