The Voice UK will return to ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player later this year with three brand new coaches joining will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones…
Some things remain the same as host Emma Willis returns to oversee proceedings as ITV go on the hunt for a musical superstar. LeAnn Rimes joins the coaching line up, and making The Voice UK history, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones will fill the fourth coaching spot in a double chair.
Tom and Danny:
“To be making The Voice UK history as the first ever double chair combo is going to be epic and we’re both ready for the challenge. And of course, we couldn’t ask to be in greater company than our fellow Voice family members Emma, will, sir Tom and LeAnn. Roll on the talent!”
As one half of the group McFly, Tom and Danny will join forces, but in a format twist, both will have to agree in order to turn the chair. Danny is no stranger to the show having coached on The Voice Kids for six series.
Once more hopefuls take to the stage in the hope of turning one of the iconic red chairs and ultimately winning a life changing record contract with music giants EMI, £50,000 in cash and a holiday to Universal Studios Florida. Filming for the forthcoming nine-part series takes place throughout late February, with the series returning to screens later in the year.
LeAnn Rimes:
“I’m truly excited and grateful to take on the role of coach on The Voice UK’ and to be joining an epic panel of coaches. Being able to work with and nurture emerging, vibrant talent in the UK represents a new chapter of my heart felt connection with the wonderful fans I’ve had deep ties with for decades. I’m looking forward to offering my heart and guidance, sharing what I’ve learned through my own musical journey, and discovering the extraordinary talent that the UK is renowned for.”
