Newbridge's Jasmine bows out of Voice of Ireland

Newbridge native Jasmine Kavanagh's time on Voice of Ireland came to an end last night despite putting in a show-stopping performance.

Disappointed Jasmine (22), who was mentored by ex Westlife singer Kian Egan, said afterwards: "Well that's my journey on the voice finished .. So so grateful for you all your support is what helped me believe in myself."

The determined Pairc Mhuire lost an incredible four-and-a-half stone since just before the show began.

Eight performers battled it out last night to get a spot in the final, with four being shown the door after another tense night in the competition.

As well as Jasmine, there were more tears for heartbroken hopefuls Emmett Daly, Moylan Brunnock and Mattheus Soares.

Those who made it into the final were: Nigel Connell, Kelesa Mulcahy, Michael Lawson and Laura O’Connor.

Coach Una Healy performed her own solo song for the first time ever, bringing her guitar out on stage to play the country track Staring At The Moon.
