The Voice Kids live final will air in August without a studio audience, it has been confirmed.
Entertainment host Richard Arnold revealed the exciting news on Friday’s Good Morning Britain.
Speaking to Ranvir Singh and Adil Ray, Richard explained: ‘I can reveal the long-awaited final of The Voice Kids will be going ahead on August 29.
‘It is going ahead will all the bells and whistles attached meaning coaches chairs, two-metres apart, every performance will be choreographed to enable social-distancing.’
‘Sadly that does mean as we enter the autumn there will be no studio audience, but viewers can now apply to be a special voter,’ he added.
The Voice Kids blind auditions, which were filmed earlier this year are currently being aired on Saturdays.
It comes after ITV confirmed that The Voice UK semi-final and final will finally air in autumn, after being pushed back over coronavirus.
The episodes were set to air earlier this year, on March 28 and April 4 respectively, but were postponed due to the global health scare.
Will.i.am, Tom Jones, Meghan Trainor and Olly Murs will all return to crown the winner of the show.
The competition will return in autumn, but a definite date is yet to be revealed.
We’ll see the eight semi-finalists, as well as Doug Sure – who won the Lifeline vote – take to the stage and battle it out for a place in the final.
ITV was forced to pull the shows in spring over safety concerns, as a result of the pandemic.
In a statement at the time, a spokesperson said: ‘We have taken the difficult decision to postpone The Voice Semi-Final and Final until later this year.
‘We will continue to monitor the situation and announce a new date for these shows, which were due on air on the 28th March and 4th April, in due course.’
The Voice Kids airs on Saturday at 7.25 pm on ITV and Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
