The Voice UK viewers were left shocked to the core over the weekend when legendary singer Sir Tom Jones revealed that's not actually his real name!

Following Tom's announcement, viewers of the ITV show were quick to take to Twitter to express their shock, one user wrote, 'First time watching the voice and I find out Tom Jones’ last name isn’t jones it’s Woodward. life is a lie.' (sic)
Another fan with the surname Woodward then joked, 'Just found out Tom Jones as the same second name as me? Right I’m doing my family free and getting an inheritance ASAP x'. (sic)
And it appears Tom's fellow judges were just as surprised, with Olly Murs saying, "I never knew that!" with will.i.am adding, 'Tom Woodward?!'. (sic)
Of course, a number of celebrities across the world of music, film and TV like to change their names when they become famous, including the likes of Miley Cyrus, Calvin Harris and Rihanna.
