Shania Twain confirmed to join The Voice UK as a mentor

Team Tom have got another trick up their sleeve as The Voice coach, Tom Jones, has just announced that the best-selling female artist in country music will be joining him on The Voice UK.

Shania Twain, known for her massive hits 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman!' and 'You're Still the One', will be on The Voice next week! Taking to Twitter to announce the news, Tom said in a video, "Hear about my fantastic guest mentor! She's the best-selling female artist in country music history."

Tom went on to joke, "If you're a rocket scientist that won't impress her much," in reference to the lyrics of Shania's 1999 single 'That Don't Impress Me Much'.

Tom Jones has been part of The Voice since 2012, missing just one season in 2016. The Welsh singer started off taking Leanne Mitchell to victory, winning the very first series, with Ruti Olajugbagbe in series seven also winning under Tom's coaching.

Now, as the ninth series of show enters the Knockout stage, we can expect the competition to hot up in the next few weeks with guest mentors sure as Shania joining the show.

This year, the coaches include will.i.am returning for the ninth time, Meghan Trainor and Olly Murs.
