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.

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.
