The Voice season 24 came to an end earlier this week. As usual, the show delivered a season packed with great performances from talented singers. Additionally, season 24 brought a new coach, new twists, and surprise guests. When it was all said and done, Huntley brought Niall Horan a win during his final season on The Voice.
As usual, not all of the fans of The Voice agreed that Huntley should have won. Many took to social media to exclaim that the voters robbed Ruby Leigh of a well-earned victory. Recently, a candid video surfaced and proved that Leigh doesn’t feel that way. The short clip shows Huntley and Leigh hugging, high-fiving, then hugging again. Watch the sweet moment between the two incredibly talented contestants below.
