How to get formatted custom price

Question

I have set my product custom price in an observer..

$item->setOriginalCustomPrice(9.99);
$item->setCustomPrice(9.99);

I can output the price value correclty like so:

echo $item->getOriginalPrice();
// 9.99

But when I try to output it formatted, it gives me the original price.

$finalPrice = $product->getPriceInfo()->getPrice('final_price')->getAmount()->getValue();
// £19.99

I tried

$finalPrice = $product->getPriceInfo()->getPrice('custom_price')->getAmount()->getValue();

But that gives an error.

Use this code for price with currency to display.

   $objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

   $priceHelper = $objectManager->create('Magento\Framework\Pricing\Helper\Data'); 

   $finalPrice = $priceHelper->currency($product->getCustomPrice(), true, false);
