Given four different finale outcomes of The Voice were pre-recorded due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Nat asked Bella about how she felt when the outcome was finally revealed.

"You had no idea what was going to happen. How surprised were you?" she asked.

The singing teacher said she was "shocked" and "thrilled" when she realised she had won.

"I think I'm still in shock to be honest, I'm not sure if I believe it yet," Bella added.

Indeed fans weren't that happy about the pre-recorded The Voice finale with many taking to social media to complain the celebrations after the announcement seemed ‘fake’.

Viewers were still able to cast their votes for their favourite performer, and then Channel 7 simply played the winner’s edit for whoever won.

“Well that was a bit of a fizzer of a reaction,” one person wrote, with another saying: “Congratulations Bella but so disappointed at having to watch fake reactions at a prerecorded grand final. Second year in a row. What an anti climax.”

Despite not knowing whether or not she had won during filming, Bella had already scored a major win on the night when her coach Guy Sebastian asked her to join him on his upcoming arena tour.

"Guy asked you to tour with him! You're going to be busy," Kochie said.

"I am I think," Bella replied. "I'm just thrilled, couldn't be more grateful."

Bella also revealed that she and coach Guy had already caught up and had a chat after her win last night.

"He is just the best, he really is invested in to me and my career and is the most lovely mentor and coach," she said, adding plans for her album are already underway.

Bella added she can't wait to get into the studio to start recording her "many ideas".

"So original music? That's fabulous!" Kochie exclaimed.
