Nun who wowed The Voice of Italy becomes waiter in Spain

Cristina Scuccia, who wowed judges in 2014 contest, explains decision to leave nunhood on talkshow

A nun who became a singing sensation after winning Italy's version of The Voice has stunned TV viewers again after announcing that she has kicked the habit and is now a waiter in Spain.

Sister Cristina Scuccia, from Sicily, shocked judges, including the late Raffaella Carra, during her blind audition for the show in 2014, giving a rapturous performance of the Alicia Keys' hit song No One. After realising the incredible voice belonged to a nun, Carra, who died last year, said: I couldn't speak for several minutes."
