Tom Jones back on The Voice UK

Tom Jones has returned to The Voice UK, as the show has moved over to ITV from the BBC.

The news comes just two years after the BBC dropped him from the show when it aired on BBC One, after he acted as a coach for four seasons.

After he was fired, the Sex Bomb singer slammed the BBC for “sub-standard behaviour” as they dropped him “with no consultation or conversation of any kind”.

The, now ITV, series will see Tom join his pal will.i.am as a coach – which he’s seriously excited about.

“I had some great times on the show and I can’t wait to again discover and help some brand new talent. And of course be back with my pal will.i.am,” he said.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Hudson, who rose to fame on American Idol back in 2004, will join the red chair lineup alongside Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale.

“I’m really looking forward to sharing my point of view with the contestants and especially Team JHUD,” Jennifer said in a statement.

Emma Willis will also return as host of the show, which will debut on ITV early next year, and the winner will receive a recording contract with Polydor Records.
