The eleven date tour for The Voice UK Live has been cancelled due to a lack of ticket sales.

The gigs were due to feature eight of the show's finalists.

The Voice UK Live tour was to begin at the Bournemouth International Centre on September 12, and was then due to visit venues in Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, London, Glasgow and Sheffield.

Organisers say fans with tickets for the cancelled dates can get a refund.

A number of ticket outlets had only cited five dates as being axed earlier today, but organisers have confirmed to Newsbeat that none of the scheduled dates will be going ahead.

In a statement, 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 news comes as the show was criticised for failing to attract viewers.

Episodes of The Voice consistently attracted average audiences of more than 10 million in April, but the ratings had dropped to 4.5 million

More than seven million people tuned in to watch 28-year-old Leanne Mitchell, from Lowestoft, Suffolk, be crowned the show's first ever winner.

Her single, a cover of Whitney Houston's Run To You, failed to make it into the top 40 of the Official Chart.

One of the least entertaining programmes of it's genre I have ever seen. At least X Factor know how to put on a good show. Not surprised that it's flopped.

Although I appear to be going to every concert going, I wasn't interested in The Voice.

I am a bit surprised but this doesn't look good for the next series of The Voice really.The wrong person did win though, some of the acts the coaches sent home far too early in the series were really better than Leanne.

I'm not surprised the show was terribly dull
