The Show Must Go On… Cork Voice Star Kelly Vows She’ll Sing Even If Her Baby Comes

Voice of Ireland has a contestant with a difference this year, Cork girl Kelly Mongan is due to give birth in just two weeks.

With three weeks left in the show, Kelly has vowed she will still make it to the stage, even if she goes into labour midweek.

The 18-year-old said she won’t let her new arrival stop her going on stage. 

An insider told the Irish Sun: “Kelly has said that no matter when the baby comes, she doesn’t want to miss out on the weeks of the show.

“There’s three weeks left and she’s due in two weeks, so anything could happen and it’s a waiting game.

“She has said that if the baby arrives during the week, she wants to be back on stage on the Sunday night.”

Kelly's strong voice means she has sailed through the show so far. 

Kelly is part of #TeamKian (Kian Egan’s team) and she sailed into the final ten of the show on Sunday night.

Paramedics were on standby during both rehearsals and the show. They were keeping a close eye on her blood pressure.

Kelly joked: “The baby could come up with me for a duet!”
