They are joined by brand-new coaches in international multi-platinum selling singer and Grammy Award winner LeAnn Rimes.
And British boyband royalty Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones from McFly who sat in a double chair.
The winner of The Voice UK will win a life-changing record contract with music giants EMI, £50,000 and a trip to Universal Orlando Resort.

Viewers were introduced to boyband Mic Lowry.
The Liverpool-based group is made up of Delleile Ankrah, Kaine Ofoeme, Ben Sharples and Michael Welch.
