Welsh duo Into The Ark finished second on the 6th series of The Voice UK - which made its debut on ITV1 for the first time - starting 7th January 2017 and concluding with the grand final on 2nd April 2017.

After tens of thousands of singers entered the competition to win a record deal, Into The Ark, sang, played, performed and battled their way to the runners up spot behind winner Mo Adeniran.

Coach and mentor, Sir Tom Jones received a very pleasant shock when presenter Emma Willis revealed Into The Ark had made the final two - Sir Tom was caught sweraing live on TV.

About his ‘surprise outburst’ on live TV - Sir Tom Jones said afterwards “I was so shocked and because I believe in them [Into The Ark] so much ... it gives me a boost to know that the public believe like I do in these boys.”

On finishing as runners up, Dane Lloyd said, “We can’t believe it. We’re so grateful to have the best mentor you could ever have ... and we get to go on tour with Tom! Thanks to everyone who voted. Seriously, thank you”. Taylor Jones added, “Does life get much better than touring with such a great guy AND a Welsh legend?”

Into The Ark have just announced their own first UK & Ireland 16-date Headline Tour – which has already sold out in venues across the UK – including Cardiff, St Albans and Bristol. Following this Into The Ark will then support Sir Tom Jones on tour throughout June and July.

Sir Tom Jones said, “We’re going to do some shows together. It’s a tour that I’m going on and the (Into The Ark) boys are coming with me. Definitely looking forward to having the guys on board. Can't wait!”
