Sir Tom Jones Breaks Silence over The Voice UK Exit Rumours and Says He Was "Fired"
Jones said ITV let him go over an insurance cost issue and offered him a reduced role instead of keeping him as a full coach.
- On Tuesday, Sir Tom Jones announced he was fired from The Voice, claiming ITV cited 'financial difficulty with insurance' as the reason for his departure after 13 years.
- ITV claimed they wanted to 'refresh' the show with a new coaching line-up, leaving no chair for Jones; he was offered a 'much-reduced role' he said he was 'not thrilled' about.
- The 86-year-old singer wrote on social media: 'To be clear, I did not want to leave The Voice,' adding there is 'never a good time to fire an 86-year-old who's still pretty good at his job.'
- Despite the firing, a Press Association source reported ITV remains 'hopeful' the singer will return; meanwhile, reports suggest rappers Aitch and singer Cheryl Tweedy could replace Jones on the coaching panel.
- Production for the 2027 series begins shortly, continuing a show that has featured coaches including McFly members Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, Will.i.am, and Kelly Rowland alongside Jones over its tenure.
