Will.i.am is set to take The Voice finalist Leah McFall to New York to work on new tunes imminently.

The singer was the bookies' favourite to win the UK TV talent show last night (June 22) but she eventually lost out to Northern Ireland's Andrea Begley.

However, it seems the '#willpower' man is ready to take McFall into the studio and have some fresh tracks recorded before the Wireless Festival on July 12-14. He said on Twitter:

"Congratulations to Andrea for winning #TheVoiceUK... It's time to focus and build... let's go@leahmcfallmusic... I'm so pumped... me and Leah will start next week... #newORIGINALsongs."

He added: "As a matter of fact... let's start in NYC next week... somebody wake up the wizards... let's make magic @leahmcfallmusic... Let's have some new songs finished before #wirelessFESTIVAL #boom... let's go!!!"
