The first series of the talent show The Voice UK began broadcasting on 24 March 2012. The coaches are Tom Jones, Jessie J, Danny O'Donoghue of The Script and will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas. Each coach chose who they wanted on their team by pressing their "I Want You" button. When one or more coaches turned around, the contestant chose which team he or she wanted to join. If none of the coaches pressed their button by the end of the contestant's song, all four coaches turned around to give advice to the contestant who would not progress in the show. The show was won by Leanne Mitchell, mentored by Tom Jones, who took the £100,000 and record deal with Universal Republic Records, with Tyler James and Bo Bruce becoming the joint runners-up (mentored by will.i.am and Danny O'Donoghue respectively). Vince Kidd, mentored by Jessie J took fourth place.

Milner auditioned for The Voice UK at age twenty-one, originating from London, England. Appearing on the first of four audition shows, Milner auditioned with a mash-up between The Beatles' "Come Together" and "Lose Yourself" by Eminem. The audition was met with a positive reception, with three coaches: Danny O'Donoghue, Jessie J and will.i.am all electing for Milner to join their teams—from which Milner selected O'Donoghue. During the battle rounds, Milner sung "Beggin'" by Madcon against twenty-three-year-old Bill Downs—with Danny crowning him the winner. In the second live show, Milner performed "Free Fallin'", originally by Tom Petty—finding himself in the bottom two alongside Hannah Berney; from which he was saved. In the fourth live show, Milner performed KT Tunstall's "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree", also incorporating elements of Ed Sheeran's "You Need Me, I Don't Need You"—finding himself in the bottom three alongside Aleks Josh and David Julien; from which O'Donoghue saved him for a second time. During the semi-finals, Milner performed The Police's "Every Breath You Take"—though he was eliminated in favour of Bo Bruce.
