Who are the coaches?

The Voice UK veteran Will.I.Am will once again be joined by Pixie Lott and McFly’s Danny Jones, with the third series of the show now adding former The Voice UK judge Jessie J into the mix.

Speaking on her appointment to the show, the Domino singer sadi, “I love kids, I love to sing and I love to share all I know about singing and performing.

“The idea of combining those three things again on The Voice Kids is a dream come true. I am grateful to have been asked back.”

“I will be protective of their experience emotionally, as well as vocally.”

The coaches are thrilled to welcome Jessie to the team, with Will.I.Am adding, “Jessie will add a new dynamic as we each compete to secure the freshest new talent in Britain to our teams.”

“I absolutely love Jessie and I’m thrilled to have a girl joining me with the boys!” said Lott.

What is the format for The Voice Kids?

Similarly to the more grown-up version, The Voice Kids still has the infamous blind auditions, before progressing to the battle round.

However, the children’s version of The Voice does not have the show’s knockout stages, progressing straight to the semi-finals and live grand final.

For the first time in The Voice Kids, acts will now be allowed to perform as duos.
