When was The Voice Kids filmed?
Almost the entire series of The Voice Kids UK was recorded prior to lockdown and before social-distancing measures were introduced in December 2019.
This is why there is an audience and the children are allowed to hug the judges.
The final is yet to be filmed, with host Emma Willis recently telling us that she hopes the show could be finished by the end of the year.

Speaking to us exclusively to Heart.co.uk, the 46-year-old admitted: “We don’t know anything about anything.”
Before adding: “We’re hoping we can finish, - we’ve got the final of the kids’ series to film and the main show - we’re hoping we can do them by the end of the year.
“But again there’s lots of other things that need to be sorted first.”
Meanwhile, the adult version of The Voice started earlier in the year with coaches Meghan Trainor, Will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Olly Murs.
However, the series had to be stopped after its pre-recorded stages aired so the live semi-finals are yet to be filmed.
