The current series of ‘The Voice UK’ has announced an impressive list of guest mentors, featuring a former Little Mix star and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistant. The show welcomes back superstar coaches Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am, who are set to occupy the iconic red chairs once again.
This season introduces new coaches to the mix: international multi-platinum singer and Grammy Award winner LeAnn Rimes, and British boyband favourites Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones from McFly. In a show first, the duo will share a double chair. Returning host Emma Willis will guide the contestants through the competition, with the grand prize being a record contract with EMI, a substantial cash sum of £50,000, and a trip to Universal Orlando Resort.
As the series progresses, each coach will be joined by a special guest to aid in the selection of acts. Sir Tom Jones will collaborate with actress Hannah Waddingham, while Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones team up with Perrie Edwards, formerly of Little Mix. LeAnn Rimes is set to work with singer-songwriter Griff, and will.i.am will be assisted by his AI companion, Felicia.
The Voice UK continues its Saturday night broadcasts at 8 pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
