What happens

The Voice UK is a British singing reality competition television series. Created by John de Mol Jr. and Roel van Velzen, it premiered on BBC One on 24 March 2012. Based on the original Dutch singing competition The Voice of Holland, and part of The Voice franchise, it has aired thirteen series and aims to find currently unsigned singing talent (solo, duets, trios or professional and amateur) contested by aspiring singers, drawn from public auditions. Presented by Emma Willis since 2014, it was previously presented by Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates from 2012 to 2013 and Marvin Humes from 2014 to 2016. The winners receive a recording contract with Universal Music Group. Winners of each series have been: Leanne Mitchell, Andrea Begley, Jermain Jackman, Stevie McCrorie, Kevin Simm, Mo Adeniran, Ruti Olajugbagbe, Molly Hocking, Blessing Chitapa, Craig Eddie, Anthonia Edwards, Jen & Liv and AVA. The series employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the series. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The original panel featured will.i.am, Jessie J, Sir Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue; the panel for the upcoming fourteenth series will feature will.i.am, Jones, Tom Fletcher & Danny Jones, and Kelly Rowland. Other judges from previous series include: Kylie Minogue, Rita Ora, Ricky Wilson, Paloma Faith, Boy George, Jennifer Hudson, Gavin Rossdale, Olly Murs, Meghan Trainor, Anne-Marie, and LeAnn Rimes. In November 2015, the BBC announced that the fifth series of The Voice UK would be their last. That same month, ITV announced they had acquired the rights to air The Voice UK for three additional series, as well as plans for a Kids edition, which began airing in 2017. The show has been extended for the fourteenth series, which will be released during late 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
