Irene Alano-Rhodes

Irene first came to the UK in 1995 to perform in Miss Saigon on the West End, but her talents led her to reside here permanently! Her son persuaded her to do the Voice and she’s decided it’s time to take a leap of faith and do something for herself.

After blasting out the Bette Midler classic ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ she got all of the coaches singing along before Ricky and Will turned for a pitch-off, that resulted in a place on the mighty #TeamWill.

What pop star’s poster would you hang on your wall right now? “Oh my! At 42? Hmmm, Take That!”

If you could have witnessed any music event in history what would it be? “Live Aid.”

What song do you like to sing in the shower? “A lot of Christian music radio.”

You’re headlining Wembley! What would you have on your rider? “Filipino food. I miss home cooking!”

What famous person do people say you most resemble? “My nose is apparently like Barbara Streisand’s!”

What is the best prank you have ever pulled? “The classic cling film on the toilet seat for my son… although I’m now not sure if he actually did it to me!”
