The 14th series of The Voice UK launched on August 22, 2026, featuring Kelly Rowland replacing LeAnn Rimes alongside will.i.am, Tom Fletcher, and Danny Jones. As of September 2026, the program is undergoing a significant coaching panel refresh. Sir Tom Jones has claimed he was “fired” from his role by ~~ITV,~~ ITV after 13 years with the show, alleging the decision was communicated to him recently. Jones stated on social media that he did not want to exit the ~~reason provided~~ program and expressed frustration over the manner in which he was informed. He alleged that ITV initially cited “financial difficulty with ~~insurance,”~~ insurance” as the reason for his removal, though he noted media reports suggest the network intends to “refresh” the show with a new lineup. He expressed dissatisfaction with an alternative offer for a “much-reduced role” ~~involving brief appearances,~~ that did not involve full participation from the start of the competition, remarking, “there’s never a good time to fire an 86-year-old who’s still pretty good at his job.” ITV has confirmed that Jones will no longer serve as a full-time coach for the upcoming 15th series, though a spokesperson stated the network “continues to talk to Sir Tom and his team about his involvement in the next series.” Public figures, including Carol Vorderman and former coach Olly Murs, have expressed support for the singer. The upcoming season is expected to feature a significant overhaul, with rumors suggesting Cheryl and rapper Aitch may join the lineup, while McFly members Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher are expected to depart. Filming for the new season was scheduled to begin on September 11 in Manchester.
