FOLK duo Matt and Sueleen sang for their survival on BBC's The Voice on Saturday.

More than 10 million viewers watched as the Canterbury couple belted out Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run alongside their rival, country singer Lindsey Butler, as part of the talent show's battle round.

After a tense deliberation, their coach – hip-swinging legend Tom Jones – saved the soulful pair, praising their pitch-perfect harmonies and on-stage chemistry.

Matt, who works as a chef at the Cherry Tree pub in Canterbury, and his teenage sweetheart Sueleen, a teaching assistant at Bridge and Patrixbourne Primary School, will appear on the live shows this weekend as part of Team Tom.
