Career
In 2023, the Jen & Liv participated in the twelfth series of The Voice UK. In their blind audition, the show's four coaches (will.i.am, Anne-Marie, Sir Tom Jones, and Olly Murs) turned their chairs. Ultimately Jen & Liv decided to join will.i.am's team. The duo has the distinction of being the first participant in the history of the show to have had the show's presenter, Emma Willis, press coach will.i.am's button, as will.i.am and Willis decided to swap places for the audition. They were declared the winner of the series in the series final on 30 December 2023.[2][3] After winning the series, the duo's winning single, "I'm Every Woman", was released.[4] For winning the series, the duo won £50,000 and a holiday to Mauritius.
