Tom Jones battled it out with a Strictly star (Image: THE VOICE) Sir Tom Jones and Will.i.am are back as The Voice judges, while American songstress LeAnn Rimes and McFly stars Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher will also be joining the panel.

We can reveal that one contestant in the upcoming first episode of the 2024 series, to be screened next Saturday, revved up all five judges so much that fighting took place over who'd be his mentor. Tom and Danny even launched into a song they'd prepared in the event of a truly top artist appearing - and tried to use it to coax their chosen singer out of the clutches of Tom Jones. Referencing the lyrics of their rivals' hit songs, they belted out: "How could I live without you if you picked Team LeAnn, and where is the love if you pick Team Will.

i.am? "It's not unusual if you want to be on Team Tom, what's to say, you're not to blame 'cause everybody wants that sex bomb!" Will.i.

am laughed at their rendition, but then broke into an ad-lib song of his own in a bid to win over the singer, urging him to "pick me me me me me me". LeAnn had tried to persuade the contestant by revealing she had a concert at the 02 in October and vowed to invite him onstage with her for a duet. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
