The Voice UK Major Shake-Up

ITV's hit talent show The Voice UK could be heading for a major overhaul after reports claimed coaches Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones have stepped down from the programme ahead of its next series.

The McFly band mates joined the judging panel together in 2024 and are expected to appear in the already-recorded 2026 series alongside will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and newcomer Kelly Rowland. However, reports suggest the pair have informed producers they will not return for the following season because of increasingly busy work commitments.

According to reports, Fletcher is focusing on bringing *Paddington: The Musical* to New York while both musicians are also working on McFly's eighth studio album. ITV is now said to be searching for new coaches to join the long-running talent competition.

There is also uncertainty surrounding presenter Emma Willis. Reports suggest her new role as part of the presenting team for **Strictly Come Dancing** could clash with filming commitments for The Voice UK, although no official announcement has been made regarding her future on the programme.

Despite the reported changes, ITV has not commented publicly on the speculation. The upcoming series of The Voice UK, featuring Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones for one final time, is still expected to air later this year.
