Tom Jones set for return to Voice UK on ITV

TOM JONES will return to The Voice UK when the show makes its debut on ITV, after he previously slammed the BBC for firing him from the line-up in 2015.

The Voice UK moved channels when ITV acquired the rights to it last year, after a five-series run on BBC One. Jones will be joined on the panel on the series by actress/singer Jennifer Hudson and rock star Gavin Rossdale.

Long-running coach Will.i.am, who will complete the line-up for the singing competition, admitted he had missed his Welsh co-star and welcomed his move to ITV for the series, set to air in 2017.
