LeAnn Rimes has hopped across the pond to take part in The Voice UK—and it’s an experience that’s already felt rewarding beyond measure!

The Voice UK Season 13 kicked off on Saturday, August 31, with LeAnn Rimes solo-spinning in favor of contestant Joy Farrukh. As mesmerized as she was by her vocals, LeAnn wasn’t prepared for what came next: Joy requesting her vocal presence on stage for a second act.

“When I walked onto my first day of filming @thevoiceuk, I had no idea of what to expect,” LeAnn revealed on Instagram. “This show really put my improv skills to the test. It’s all about rolling with what’s in front of you and I have to say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the challenge and that energy!”

While LeAnn felt jet-lagged after having just flown in from Australia, she was thrilled to take the stage with Joy in what she calls a “magical moment.”

“You are pure joy, @joyfarrukh and I am SO honored that I got to share this special moment with you,” she continued in the caption reflecting on the experience.

Her encounter with Joy isn’t the only highlight of joining The Voice UK, though. “I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun we had filming this series,” LeAnn shared on Instagram. “We laugh, we cry, we get a little competitive, and then we (mainly @tomfletcher and I) cry some more…)."

All in all, the way LeAnn and the other judges interact with each other and the contestants keeps viewers coming back for more.

“You are a complete star and a perfect coach on The Voice UK,” one fan exclaimed. “Gave me chicken skin & teary eyes. Amazing, funny & wicked talent both of you,” someone else commented. “This has to be THE BEST and most epic audition clip from any of The Voice franchises,” another fan commented. “I love how the UK voice version of the show is more authentic in judge and contestant interactions,” someone else wrote.

New episodes of The Voice UK are available to stream on ITVX's website.
