Leanne Mitchell joins biggest reality TV music flops

Out of the starting gate and into the dumper - talent show career disasters

 

  • Leanne Mitchell: It might be too soon to call time on The Voice UK's first ever winner, but after a bumpy first season, her winner's single is set to score the singer a great big flop due to lack of promotion from the BBC.

Leanne Mitchell seems like a nice enough girl, but we didn't exactly jump through hoops when she was crowned the winner of the first ever series of The Voice UK. We're not the hoop-jumping types and besides, we really didn't watch the show...

Her debut single 'Run To You' (a Whitney Houston cover version) is set to explode onto this week's chart at No.27. After all the hassle of auditioning, competing and eventually winning the show, it all seems like a lot of fuss for nothing. Perhaps her debut album will be a bit better...

But Mitchell isn't the first winner to find the public have turned their back on a champion the moment they win a TV talent show, and now joins the likes of Steve Brookstein, Leon Jackson, Michelle McManus and countless other reality TV flop who went from champ to chump in no time at all...
