Series chronology |
The Voice UK is a British television music competition to find new singing talent. The thirteenth series premiered on 31 August 2024 on ITV1. Emma Willis returned to present the series, whilst will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones returned as coaches, along with The Voice Australia coach LeAnn Rimes, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, with the latter two serving as the programme's first duo coach.[1]
On 26 October 2024, AVA was announced the winner of the season, marking Tom Fletcher & Danny Jones' first win as coaches. Fletcher and Jones became the first duo on the UK version of The Voice to win a series and became the third coach to win on their debut season, following Jennifer Hudson and Anne-Marie. It also marks Jones’ second win on the UK franchise following the third series of the Kids edition.
Coaches
[edit]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 returned for her eleventh series as presenter, whilst will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones returned 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 made up the show's first ever "double chair", a format that has previously been used in other versions of The Voice franchise, which saw 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 2024 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]
