Who are The Voice Kids 2020 UK judges?
THE Voice Kids continues tonight and for the fourth series there’s a new face in the red chair.
Pixie Lott, will.i.am and Danny Jones returned as judges as kids aged 7-14 compete for their chairs to turn during blind auditions – but a new face is in the final seat after Jessie J left the panel in 2019.
Who are The Voice Kids 2020 judges?
Paloma Faith
Paloma Faith is no stranger to the red chair. She judged the fifth series of the adult version of the show back in 2016.
The Upside Down singer is now taking over Jessie J‘s spot on the show, after she left to focus on her own music career.
Paloma said she is “massively excited to be joining The Voice Kids”.
She added: “It’s going to be so much fun working with these young singers, helping them find their voices and be the best they can be.
“From what I’ve seen; although they’re small, their voices are often mighty and can give most adults a run for their money!”
will.i.am
Will.i.am is a firm fixture on The Voice, having held his position as judge since the programme first aired in the UK in March 2012.
Black Eyed Peas member Will is a music industry expert – he has multiple Grammy wins and chart topping hits to his name.
Back in 2018, Will said he was reluctant to join the kids version of The Voice because he didn’t want to break children’s hearts.
Luckily he changed his mind because the kids series has been a hit.
Pixie Lott
British pop star Pixie Lott has confirmed she will be returning for another series of The Voice Kids.
Pixie has had her fair share of hit tracks, such as Mama Do, Cry Me Out and Gravity.
As well as being a singer, Pixie has also tried her hand at acting and modelling and appeared in the 2014 series of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
She has shifted her focus from music to TV work over recent years, but is a favourite on The Voice Kids and fans will be delighted to see her return for another series.
Danny Jones
Danny Jones is reportedly “‘buzzing” to get back to business as the reigning champion Coach.
Danny is an English musician famous for being a founding member of the band McFly, alongside Tom Fletcher.
He has also created music for a other artists, including One Direction, penning Don’t Forget Where You Belong from their album Midnight Memories.
He has had some memorable moments from his time on the show, famously breaking down when 11-year-old Tomos from Caernarfon, chose to sing Kelly Clarkson’s Piece by Piece.
