The Voice UK: Alesha Dixon and Stacey Solomon joing show as ITV confirms revamp

Solomon and Dixon will replace Emma Willis, who is leaving The Voice to front Strictly Come Dancing

Alesha Dixon and Stacey Solomon are to host The Voice UK as part of a revamp of the show announced by ITV.

ITV also confirmed earlier reports that singer Cheryl and rapper Aitch will join the The Voice as coaches, sitting in the show's famous giant red chairs.

On Friday, the network said: "ITV would like to thank the irreplaceable Sir Tom Jones for all his years on The Voice UK, and the countless incredible and unforgettable moments he gave the show.

The changes will take effect from the next series, which began filming on Friday. The series currently airing on ITV was filmed in 2025.

Sir Tom Jones, pictured with Will.I.Am, said he was "not thrilled" to be offered a reduced role on the show

On Wednesday, Sir Tom, 86, said in a statement he had been offered a "much-reduced role" on the series, which he was "not thrilled about".

He concluded: "The only thing I know right now is that there's never a good time to fire an 86-year-old who's still pretty good at his job."

She also served as a judge on ITV's The X Factor when the singing competition was at the peak of its popularity in the late 2000s.

"Fusing legendary industry experience with a vibrant competitive spirit, our latest panel of icons is ready to discover and celebrate the most remarkable and exciting vocal talent emerging from every corner of the country," ITV said.

She has previously hosted The Greatest Dancer and the Eurovision Song Contest when it was hosted by the UK in Liverpool in 2023.

Earlier this year, it was reported that McFly stars Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones would also not be returning to The Voice, after they shared a chair as joint coaches for the last two series.
