Cate McHugh won The Voice UK 2026, the final in which Frank Raven competed. The programme’s verified The Voice Global channel names her as the winner and identifies Sir Tom Jones as her coach. For readers following Raven after the Saturday, October 31 show, the result is now separate from the earlier reports announcing his place in the final.
Raven represented Team Tom and Danny, the McFly coaching partnership, according to the Buxton Advertiser’s October 30 preview of ITV-supplied final photographs. The paper identifies him as a former New Mills School student and says he was 17 when the programme was filmed. That dated age describes filming, rather than establishing his age today.
Official compilation: where to go
| Chapter | Starts at |
|---|---|
| Final solo: Blackbird | 17:08 |
| Final duet with Sir Tom | 24:59 |
| Winner announcement | 30:30 |
Chapter starts in the 33:29 official winner compilation; not elapsed times in the full ITVX episode.
The full final and the official chapter guide
ITVX now lists the final episode with a running time of 1 hour 23 minutes. Its episode page is the direct UK service route for the whole programme. The separate official YouTube upload lasts 33 minutes 29 seconds and follows McHugh’s performances across the competition; it is not a complete replay of every finalist’s final.
The official compilation’s published chapter guide places McHugh’s final solo, Blackbird, at 17:08 and her duet with Sir Tom, Take Me Home, Country Roads, at 24:59. The result announcement chapter begins at 30:30. These links let readers move to the published sections without confusing a performance clip with the full ITVX episode.
The winner’s progress and UK–US access
The same guide starts with her blind audition and then includes the battle and semi-final rounds. It describes a one-chair turn from Sir Tom before the later win. That progression gives the result some context: the compilation traces her advance through the programme rather than showing only the final announcement. The chapter labels and description, rather than a separate review of the complete audio, are the basis for this guide.
UK and US readers face different access conditions. ITV’s own help page says its live and on-demand streaming is unavailable outside the UK. A US reader should therefore not assume the ITVX episode link provides a domestic full-episode stream. The official YouTube compilation is a separate published route, with no claim here that playback has been tested from every country.
The download exception and what the sources establish
For travellers, ITV describes a limited exception: Premium subscribers can download eligible programmes to Android or iOS devices before leaving the UK and watch abroad for up to 7 days. Downloads remain subject to licensing and mobile-app restrictions. That policy does not create an option to begin streaming the final from the US.
The practical choice is the full ITVX final for eligible UK viewers or the official winner compilation for its named performances and result chapter. Raven’s final appearance and McHugh’s win answer different parts of the same event. No exclusive second-place ranking for Raven or separate US full-episode broadcaster is established by the sources used here.
Winner and chapter times follow the official channel’s published description; whole-episode listing from ITVX, overseas policy from ITV Help. Frank background is attributed to the October 30 newspaper report of ITV-supplied photos. No complete-audio or country-specific playback test.
