The Voice UK announces return with Kelly Rowland and new format

The Voice UK is set to return for its 14th series on August 22, 2026, following several production delays. Kelly Rowland, formerly of Destiny’s Child, has joined the coaching panel, replacing LeAnn Rimes. Rowland will serve alongside Tom Jones, will. i. am, Tom Fletcher, and Danny Jones.

In addition to the new lineup, the show is introducing a ‘rewind’ feature. This format change allows judges the power to perform a ‘U-turn’ on previous decisions, enabling them to revive performers they had previously passed over.

Pop singer Cheryl is also reportedly in final-stage talks to join the show as a coach. Producers are optimistic about her participation, noting that her friendship with fellow coach will. i. am may influence her decision to re-enter the spotlight.
