What’s the point of having the same contestants again and again on reality shows? Cle Morgan on The Voice tonight has been on Australian Idol before. I still recognise her as a child actor Cleonie Morgan-Wootton from TV series Ship to Shore. Plus she’s an accomplished theatre performer last seen in Matilda, the Musical. So why is she on The Voice? ---
