Kelly Rowland and Cheryl are at the heart of a major shake-up at ‘The Voice UK.’
For Rowland, the news extends her latest chapter on British television. For Cheryl, meanwhile, it marks a return to the talent-show arena that helped cement her as one of the UK’s biggest TV personalities.
And the ladies aren’t the only major names in the mix.
Full story below…
ITV has officially confirmed that Cheryl and Manchester Rap star Aitch will make their debuts as coaches for Series 15, joining returning hitmakers Rowland and will.i.am in the famous red chairs.
There’s change out front too, with Alesha Dixon and Stacey Solomon taking over hosting duties from Emma Willis when the show returns in 2027.
The overhaul follows the headline-grabbing exit of Sir Tom Jones. As reported, the 86-year-old legend made clear that leaving the full-time coaching panel was not his decision.
For Kelly and Cheryl, the new line-up also delivers quite the full-circle moment.
Ms. Kelly famously joined ‘The X Factor UK’ judging panel in 2011 alongside Gary Barlow, Tulisa, and Louis Walsh. TGJ was on hand when her appointment was first announced, with the Destiny’s Child diva going on to mentor the Girls category and take Amelia Lily to third place.
Cheryl, of course, is practically synonymous with the show’s imperial era. She first occupied an ‘X Factor’ seat in 2008 and scored back-to-back wins with Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry before departing in 2010.
After her short-lived move to the US edition, the Girls Aloud star eventually made a full-circle return to the UK panel in 2014.
Now, more than a decade on, she’s spinning into a whole new red-chair chapter.
Ms. Kelly back. Cheryl back on primetime TV. And a revamped everything.
We’ll be watching. Will you?
