Leeds Contemporary Singers crowned Pitch Battle winners
The group fought off competition for the £50,000 prize fund.
Leeds Contemporary Singers have won the final of Pitch Battle.
The BBC One vocal group contest hosted by Mel Giedroyc reached the last round on Saturday as six ensembles battled it out to bag the jackpot of £50,000.
Leeds Contemporary Singers saw their way to victory by singing with guest star Will Young to his hit Your Game and fought off competition from Welsh community choir Sgarmes in a riff-off.
Judges Gareth Malone, Kelis and Deke Sharon picked Leeds Contemporary Singers and All The King’s Men to face off in the final public vote where viewers chose their favourite group.
Joining Young as guest performers with the groups were Chaka Khan, Bebe Rexha, Seal, Jermaine Jackson and Nick Jonas while Rita Ora stopped in to sing her new track Your Song as the votes were being counted.
Another fan tweeted: “OMG, well done Leeds contemporary singers, just taken the pitch battle crown #PitchBattle”
A viewer added that the runners-up would have been worthy winners too, tweeting: “Whoever won out of the two would of been fine.”
