The Voice UK live tour has been scrapped because of poor ticket sales.

The show's eight finalists - winner Leanne Mitchell, Bo Bruce, Vince Kidd, Becky Hill, Max Milner, Jaz Ellington, Tyler James and Ruth Brown - were to have taken part in the 11-date tour in September.

A spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, The Voice UK Live has been cancelled due to lack of ticket sales - customers are advised to contact their point of purchase for ticket refunds."

The second series of the show is due to air on BBC One in 2013.

While viewership plummeted after the early stages, the BBC says that the show has been its strongest entertainment launch since research methods changed in 2001, pulling in an average of 9.2m viewers.
