The Voice 2013: Tom Jones causes floods of tears as he makes contestant's sick gran's dreams come true

Even if you’re not a fan of his music, it’s pretty difficult to deny that Tom Jones is a cool bloke.

And the Welshman, 72, proves what a stand up guy he is during The Voice this Saturday as he makes the dreams of one of the contestant’s granny come true.

Former Pontin’s Bluecoat Katie Benbow, who is also from Wales like Tom, brings her lovely grandma along to her audition to watch from the wings.

Katie's gran hugged the singer so hard after her audition she almost completely squashed her

But the trip out for her wheelchair-bound gran is something of a rarity as she is very sick and it may be the last time she sees Katie sing.

However, Sex Bomb Tom is on hand to make it a special day for Katie’s grandparent as he makes her day by winking to down the lens of the camera prompting her to wave her arms around with excitement and causing host Holly Willoughby and Katie’s family to burst into tears as the look on.

And it seems Katie’s grandparents have inspired Katie’s style throughout her recent life as she is a fan of vintage clothing and old music .

She says: “My biggest fan when I was growing up was my granddad until unfortunately he passed away.

“I was so interested in his life and the whole 1940’s era. Old music really makes me feel safe because it’s been passed through onto my granddad and onto my mum.”

Katie loves old things. Maybe that's why she was so excited to meet Tom Jones when she auditioned for The Voice. Although, he's not THAT ancient
