NEWS that talented Molly Cutler did not get chosen by judges on The Voice shocked her growing band of fans.
The Waltham teenager auditioned for the show and after a snippet of her performance was shown on a television trailer, support from local fans grew strong.
But the Franklin sixth form student – who plays the guitar and gigs around Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Louth – did not get chosen by any of the all-star judging panel.
Despite her excellent performance during the blind auditions, where the judges do not see the singers, being shown on the trailer, it was not shown on Saturday night's programme.
Molly, 18, beat 30,000 other singers to get to the live auditions and performed to judges Will.i.am, Jessie J, Sir Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue while her family watched from behind the scenes.
Her family did not wish to comment other than to say they were proud of her.
At the time of going to press there was no one from The Voice available to comment.
The BBC promised the second season of The Voice will be packed with twists and unexpected surprises – prompting locals to speculate if Molly's audition is one of them.
But because it wasn't shown on television, it may be a case of watch this space ...
