NEWPORT man and nephew of the late Cilla Black Tobias Robertson will be vying for a place on a judge's team on The Voice tonight.

Tobias, 22 of St Julians, is hoping to follow in his great-aunt's famous footsteps in the music industry in the blind auditions on BBC One tonight.

He previously said: "It's a big thing to have come from the same sort of financial background from the same family and want to achieve the same thing in music. She was able to do it and paved the way.

"She was multi-talented; she was brilliant. I met her at my grandad's funeral. I was doing music at the time and she told me to never stop doing it."

He will be singing 'You’ve got a friend in me' by Randy Newman on the show which features in the Pixar film Toy Story.

This year's Voice coaches are Will.i.am, Boy George, Paloma Faith and Ricky Wilson.

Catch Tobias on The Voice at 7.15pm on BBC One.
