Prior to the beginning of the previous series, Olly Murs announced that he had been axed from the show, and that the twelfth series would be his last as a coach.[2][3] The following month, it was announced that Anne-Marie had also been axed from the series with the show's producers reportedly wanting to "refresh the show".[4][5] Emma Willis will return for her eleventh series as presenter, whilst will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones are set to return for their thirteenth and twelfth series as coaches respectively.[6] In February 2024, LeAnn Rimes was announced as Anne-Marie's replacement, whilst Murs was replaced by both McFly singers Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, the latter of whom served as a coach on the spin-off version The Voice Kids since its inception.[7][8] The pair will make up the show's first ever "double chair", a format that has previously been used in other versions of The Voice franchise, which will see them share the same chair and make decisions throughout the series collaboratively.[9][10] This also marked the first time since the sixth season to feature two new coaches.
Production
[edit]Auditions for the thirteenth series began taking place throughout June and July 2023 with online applications closing in October 2023.[11][12] The series is again pre-recorded, with filming beginning in February 2024 and concluding in June.[13][14]
