The voice uk judges 2018: who are the judges? Is gavin rossdale back?

WHO ARE THE VOICE UK JUDGES 2018? ITV will be screening the new series of The Voice UK this weekend as the show makes its highly-anticipated return. Veteran judges Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am

and Jennifer Hudson will be back as the coaches and will be kicking off the show with blind auditions. However, Bush singer Gavin Rossdale will not be returning to the famous spinning chairs

for a second time. He departed after one series on the show amid reports that he’d been axed by the show’s producers. Rossdale will be replaced by X Factor star and presenter Olly Murs,

who’ll be taking up the fourth chair on the panel. Murs’ addition to the ITV singing series was announced back in October by ITV, shortly before the new series launch in Manchester. Speaking

about joining the programme, Murs, 33, said: “I'm absolutely buzzing about being a coach on The Voice UK and can't wait to sit in the big red chair alongside will, Jennifer and

Tom. "I'm excited to mentor new artists and without doubt, I'm in it to WIN!"  WILL GAVIN ROSSDALE BE RETURNING TO THE VOICE UK? No, is the simple answer after his

contract wasn’t renewed by the ITV show. The 51-year-old rock star spoke about leaving the show back in August, saying: “It’s okay, it’s showbiz. I’m fully grown, I understand how it works.

“It’s such a massive show and it’s great to be part of a juggernaut. I’m going to miss that side of it because that was a real laugh.” He added to the Metro: “It was a great experience. I

had an amazing time on the show I loved it, I love all the people on there. Especially Tom.” WHEN DOES THE VOICE UK 2018 START? ITV will air the new series of The Voice UK on Saturday,

January 6 at 8pm. The show will start with the blind auditions as the judges put their teams together before the next round involving the battles.  Emma Willis will be back on hosting duties

as per usual.   This year will mark the second series of The Voice UK on ITV after it switched from the BBC. WHO WON THE VOICE UK LAST YEAR? Hudson’s act Mo Adeniran won the competition in

2016 after fending off tough competition from the likes of Jamie Miller and Into the Ark.  _THE VOICE UK WILL AIR ON ITV ON JANUARY 6 AT 8PM._
