TOM Fletcher rose to chart-topping fame in the noughties – but has since become a prominent figure in the realms of YouTube and children’s literature.
Here is everything you need to know about the star, including if he has joined The Voice UK as a judge.
Tom Fletcher is an English musician, composer, author and vlogger.
He was born on 17 July 1985 in Harrow, London and attended Sylvia Young Theatre School.
Fletcher shot to fame in the boyband McFly and is one of the lead vocalists of the pop rock band.
Some of their biggest songs include Colours in Her Hair, Obviously and All About You.
He has written 10 UK number-one singles and 21 top-ten singles and is credited as having written songs for One Direction, Busted, The Vamps and 5 Seconds of Summer.
The 38-year-old is also one of the UK’s bestselling authors for children, with his books, including The Christmasaurus, The Creakers and There’s a Monster in Your Book.
On February 21, 2024, it was revealed that Fletcher and his McFly bandmate Danny Jones have joined The Voice UK as judges.
The lads replace Olly Murs on the panel and will sit on a brand new spinning double-chair.
The duo will sit alongside country superstar LeAnn Rimes, who has officially now signed up to replace Anne-Marie, whilst Sir Tom Jones and Will.i.am remain.
Speaking of their new job, they said: “To be making The Voice UK history as the first ever double chair combo is going to be epic and we’re both ready for the challenge.
“And of course, we couldn’t ask to be in greater company than our fellow Voice family members Emma, will, sir Tom and LeAnn.
“Roll on the talent.”
It comes after The Sun revealed that for the first time, ITV bosses had hired a pair for the empty chair.
Tom married his childhood sweetheart Giovanna Fletcher in May 2012.
The pair met when they attended Sylvia Young Theatre School together, aged 13.
Tom told OK! that the couple initially split not long after getting together.
He revealed: “I asked her out on the day we met.
“She said yes, but I dumped her two days later.
“Then I spent years grovelling, trying to get her to go back out with me – which thankfully worked!”
The pair have three sons together called Buzz, Buddy and Max.
Despite being married to a McFly singer, Giovanna has made a name for herself.
She began appearing regularly on Lorraine in 2015, presenting a segment called Take 5.
She took part in I’m A Celebrity in 2020 and went on to win the series.
Giovanna is also known for her popular podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby.
In 2022, Kate Middleton gave her first podcast interview on the show.
Fletcher’s wife is also an author who has contributed to magazines like Heat and Bliss, and is frequently featured in Hello! magazine.
As of February 2024, Fletcher is thought to be worth an estimated £3.5 million.
This is thanks to his success in the music industry as well as his best-selling children’s books.
