Kylie Minogue will replace Jessie J as a coach on the third series of BBC singing show The Voice.
After signing a reportedly lucrative deal, the Australian pop icon will join fellow coaches Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am on the panel.
45-year-old Kylie enthused: "I'm very excited to become a coach on The Voice UK. I love the concept of the show and have been an avid viewer of both series.
“The search for new talent is such an important aspect of the music industry and The Voice UK gives us all a part to play in that. Will I be competitive? Probably more than even I imagine! Watch this space!”
Former coaches Jessie J and Danny O’Donoghue both quit their roles this summer after two series to focus on their respective music careers.
will.i.am said: “While I will miss Danny and Jessie, I’m excited to be returning for season three and to work with Kylie and Tom. Together we will mix it up and bring new energy and ideas to the show.”
The BBC have confirmed that a fourth judge will be unveiled before the third series is aired in January.
