Sande tipped for role on 'The Voice'

Emeli Sande is reportedly wanted to replaced Jessie J on 'The Voice'.

The judge quit the TV talent show yesterday to focus on her own music career and it is said BBC bosses are looking at the 'Clown' singer, as well as Paloma Faith and Rita Ora, as they seek to fill her spot.

An insider added: "It would be great to have someone young and current."

However, the singing contest could find itself having to find an entirely new judging panel with reports Jessie's fellow coaches will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue could follow her exit.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Bosses are checking the availability of the other three coaches but there is a very real fear they could follow Jessie and quit too as they said they'd only re-sign if all of them did.

"If they go it would be a massive headache for the BBC, which is still trying to find the right formula to make it a bigger success."

Speaking about her departure, Jessie had said: "I've absolutely loved my time on 'The Voice', and I hope everyone saw and knows how passionately I felt about the show.

"I can't wait to promote my new record around the world and that has to take priority. I shall be keeping a very close eye on series three, showing my support in every way I can, and really hope that in some way that I can be part of the show."
