The Voice UK's Sir Tom Jones has revealed which of his fellow coaches is "the one to look out for" in the upcoming series beginning in the New Year.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com and other press outlets, long-time The Voice UK coach Sir Tom said that new mentor Anne-Marie has "one of the strongest teams" of the competition.
When asked which of the coaches has the team to beat this year, the musical legend answered: "We all feel that we do. We're all strong."
"I mean, Anne-Marie – she didn't think that there was going to be that many people that were going to pick her. Right at the beginning, but that's the nice thing. It's not that overconfidence is not a good thing, but she sort of underrated herself I think in thinking, 'Oh, I wonder, will I get a stronger team together, will anybody pick me?'"
"Well, she's got one of the strongest teams there. You know, she's got some strong singers. She's the one to look out for to be honest with you," he added.

"I'm looking for like a really pure tone that you just know who it is as soon as you turn the radio on," she added. "So that's what I'm that's what I'm listening out for – not necessarily the acrobatics of vocal ability, it's more just like the pure tone of someone's voice."
