The Voice UK’s oldest contestant wows judges with unexpected rap performance

The Voice UK’s oldest contestant has sailed through to the next round after wowing the judges with her rapping ability.

Bette Reynolds, 76, performed The Sugarhill Gang’s ‘Rapper’s Delight’, having been inspired by her grandchildren’s music taste.

“I haven’t been on stage since 1966. But, at 76, you’re still a young thing if it’s in your mind”, she said of why she decided to enter the competition.

Her performance worked in her favour, winning over McFly’s Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher.
