Two of coaches on The Voice have been going through divorces but that didn’t stop one contestant from proposing to his lover during Monday’s blind auditions.

Jubal Lee Young got down on one knee to ask for his girlfriend Amanda Preslar’s hand in marriage in front of a screaming audience and four shell-shocked judges.

‘Are you serious?’ asked Gwen Stefani, 45, who is enduring a divorce with Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, 49.

Pharrell Williams, 42, stood to applaud the union.

Chris Crump, 31, was homeschooled before entering a family band with ‘matching sweaters’.
