Mitchell beat Danny O'Donoghue's Bo Bruce, whose cover of Coldplay's 'Charlie Brown' saw her come second with 19.9%.
will.i.am's member Tyler James completed the top three, by gathering 13.7% of the vote for his performance of Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
The four acts from each team with the least amount of viewer votes will leave the BBC One competition later this evening (May 27).
Digital Spy readers suggest that the contestants that are most in trouble are Jaz Ellington, 5.8% (Team will.i.am), Becky Hill, 7.4% (Team Jessie J), Max Milner, 8.2% (Team Danny) and Ruth Brown, 11.6% (Team Tom).
Vince Kidd narrowly beat his team member Hill with 7.9%.
The Voice UK airs tonight at 7.15pm on BBC One, and will feature a live performance by Kylie Minogue.
Where can I find out what the actual voting percentages were? Does the BBC give out this information?

What is it with people complaining about this? last night everybody backed Leanne and Tyler now it's just constant moaning in the comments about how they were wrong. In all fairness yes the decision was made on Saturday's performances no doubt- but isn't that fair enough since Ruth and Jazz had too much dramatic back story behind them over the rest? Jeez.....

Can't believe Leanne and Vince got through. I mean Leanne if she wins will get compared to Adele and who is Vince going to be marketed at?

bless you for lack of a clue, but Vince is by far the MOST marketable, as 95% of music is bought by us gays and little girls, and Vince has that appeal plus his voice...
Leanne got through because although a tad on the larger side, she looks great and both her and Ruth have great voices, but Leanne is much more in control and hits high notes SO much better, and despite the show being called the Voice, pop music is mostly about looks, and when you have looks, talent AND an endearing personality with NO NEED FOR SOB STORIES... need I say more...
Love Bo too. She is prob my favourite, but really do not get Tyler at all - has he gone 5 minutes without an Amy comment? and he is not talented at all... very odd. But then being against Jaz was an easy win - Jaz has a great voice but has no niche in the pop market at all, and the annoying god **** and the choir nonsense was total turn off
