Sir Tom Jones Breaks Silence on Exit From The Voice Saying 'I Did Not Want to Leave'
ITV is in talks with the 86-year-old singer about a smaller role as the series undergoes a major refresh, sources said.
ITV is currently in talks with Sir Tom Jones regarding a potential "smaller capacity" role on The Voice, following reports the 86-year-old singer will not return as a full-time coach for series 15.
A staple of the singing competition since 2012, Sir Tom has spent over a decade as a coach while the production undergoes a "major refresh" ahead of the upcoming series.
The show faces a significant shake-up with reports that Aitch and Cheryl will join the panel alongside Kelly Rowland and will.i.am, while host Emma Willis has reportedly quit after 12 years.
ITV remains "hopeful" Sir Tom will return, with sources indicating the network "absolutely loves working with Sir Tom" and is working behind the scenes to retain him.
Production for The Voice's 2027 series is scheduled to begin soon, marking a critical juncture as the program transitions to its refreshed judging panel and hosting arrangement.
