Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue complete coach line-up for reality TV show The Voice

Ready to battle it out: Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue complete coach line-up for reality TV show The Voice

They may sing different styles of music but Sir Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue will now go head-to-head with their talent.

The singers have been confirmed as the final two judges to appear on upcoming reality TV singing competition The Voice.

Jones and O'Donoghue will take their places on the panel alongside British singer Jessie J and U.S. star will.i.am.

Singing legend: Tom Jones has been confirmed as a judge on BBC1's singing talent show The Voice

Singing legend Jones, who has a career spanning over 40 years, is particularly looking forward to his new role.

'I’m excited about The Voice, and thrilled to be participating as a Coach,' he said.

'This is a strong show; it’s all about talent, but it’s also exciting, competitive and compelling television. I’ve been blessed over the years to share the stage with some of the worlds finest artists, and I look forward to being part of the team that discovers a great, new, genuine talent.'

The Welsh singer is certainly equipped to judge a variety of contestants having sung nearly every form of popular music since the 1960's.

Looking forward: The Script front man Danny O'Donoghue is the fourth judge to join the highly-anticipated show

O'Donoghue has also had quite a bit of experience in the music industry, even before his band The Script shot to fame with their self-titled debut album in 2008.

The Irish singer/songwriter was a member of an Eamonn Maguire managed band called Mytown in the late nineties, and he has also worked as a record producer in the U.S.

O'Donoghue is already familiar with the show - which first aired in the Netherlands last year under the name The Voice of Holland.

'In it to win it': O'Donoghue has enjoyed success in the form of a number one album with his band The Script

'I'm a massive fan of The Voice, so to be involved as a coach is amazing,' he said.

'This is a show unlike any other because it puts vocal ability first above all else. I look forward to putting my team together and battling it out with the other coaches to see who wins this unique, credible competition. I'm in it to win it!'

He'll certainly have a tough job on his hands being up against Jessie J and will.i.am.

Familiar with the format: Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am has appeared on rival show the X Factor but now he will sit on the panel for BBC1

Both artists have appeared on the X Factor as words of wisdom for judges, and no doubt will be equally as competitive.

'I'm proud to be doing The Voice UK because the UK was the first place I saw success,' said The Black Eyed Peas singer, who is close friends with Cheryl Cole.

'It’s the place I'm the most creative outside of home.'

The show has done exceptionally well in the U.S. where it was marketed as a rival of the X Factor.

The U.S version sees Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton as mentors who blindly select and judge the contestants based solely on their voice.

Ready to rock: Jessie J was the first judge to be confirmed for The Voice

The BBC are no doubt hoping to rival the UK version of the X Factor as well, with BBC One Controller Danny Cohen, saying: 'I'm delighted to be announcing Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue as Coaches for The Voice.

'Tom is a music legend and will bring huge experience and creativity to the line-up. Danny is a rising star who will bring freshness and surprise to the team.

'Overall, our line-up of Tom Jones, Jessie J, will.i.am and Danny O'Donoghue gives us mega-star quality, great musical range and musicians we know our audience love.'

The Voice is expected to hit the small screen in Spring 2012 and This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby will present the show alongside Reggie Yates.

Ready to present: Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates will front the show which is set to start in Spring 2012

Pregnant pop star Una Healy is glowing in gold as The Saturdays rock the Jingle Bell Ball

By Emily Sheridan

Last updated at 10:06 PM on 4th December 2011


She's six months pregnant with her first child, but The Saturdays singer Una Healy isn't ready to change into billowing maternitywear any time soon.

The Irish pop star, 30, still looked as sexy as her bandmates as she performed in a gold mini dress at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in London tonight.

Joining Rochelle Wiseman, Mollie King, Frankie Sandford and Vanessa White on the red carpet, she proudly showed off her growing bump in her shimmering number.

A Jingle Bell smock? The Saturdays singer Una Healy shows off her growing bump in a gold mini-dress at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball at London's O2 Arena

All fired up: Una joined her bandmates (L-R) Mollie King, Rochelle Wiseman, Frankie Sandford and Vanessa White on stage

She complemented her bandmates, who were all dressed in gold and white creations to get into the Christmas spirit.

Blonde King, 24, showed off her tanned legs in a bottom-skimming white mini-skirt and gold sequinned top, while Sandford, 22, flaunted her toned figure in a white cut-out dress.

The fivesome performed hits from past and present albums, including Higher, Notorious, Ego, My Heart Takes Over, Forever Is Over and All Fired Up.

Busy: The girl group travelled down from Liverpool on Sunday specially for their performance at the Jingle Bell Ball

Charlie's Angels: The group put on quite a few poses as they worked the stage

Ahead of the Jingle Bell Ball, the group travelled 230 miles after performing at the Echo Arena in Liverpool last night as part of their All Fired Up tour.

Despite being pregnant, Healy hasn't let her expectant state slow her down during rehearsals over the past few weeks.

Mollie said last week: 'Una is such a trouper, she hasn’t missed one rehearsal. We can’t hold her down. There’s no sit-down or wheelchair for her. We’re all up there busting a move.'

Back in the fold: Sandford is enjoying being back in the group after taking time off for health reasons

Glam: The group looked suitably festive in their white and gold outfits

And Una admitted she's been loving the attention on her bump and doesn't even mind when people touch it.

She said: 'It's quite a loving thing. You feel it's because they know it's quite a special thing going on in there. I know some people get freaked out by it, but I like it.'

While The Saturdays looked festive in their gold and white, their contemporary Jessie J wasn't quite into the Christmas spirit yet when it came to her wardrobe.

That's not very festive: Jessie J wore shorts and a floor-length cardigan to the ball

The singer, 23, wore a pair of black shorts, T-shirt and floor-length black cardigan as she arrived on the red carpet.

The annual Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball was hosted by Lisa Snowdon, who presents the station's breakfast show.

She recently lost her partner-in-crime Johnny Vaughan, who is being replaced by Dave Berry.

Also performing at the gig were X Factor boy bands JLS and One Direction.

Their sets came as they hit the No.1 spot in the UK singles chart with this year's X Factor finalists with Wishing On A Star.

The boys are back in town; JLS - who are the new No.1 with the X Factor finalists - were greeted by screaming fans

Tween idols: One Direction (L-R) Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan wowed the crowd

will.i.am joins Jessie J as the second coach on The Voice

Don't Phunk With My Rules! will.i.am joins Jessie J as the second coach on The Voice

By Nadia Mendoza

Last updated at 2:39 PM on 2nd December 2011

He's already flirted with UK television viewers, joining Cheryl Cole on The X Factor to co-judge last year.

And now will.i.am will venture onto screens this side of the Atlantic again to star on the hotly-anticipated The Voice.

The Black Eyed Peas star is the second coach to be confirmed on the reality series, alongside Jessie J and two as of yet unnamed celebrities.

Reality TV king: will.i.am is to become a UK household name after signing up for the British version of The Voice

The rapper said: 'I'm proud to be doing The Voice UK because the UK was the first place I saw success.

'It’s the place I'm the most creative outside of home.'

BBC One Controller Danny Cohen added: 'I am thrilled that will.i.am has signed up to be a coach on The Voice.

'He is a huge star who will bring a unique creativity to the show.'

The show, due to broadcast on BBC One in spring 2012, will be presented by This Morning beauty Holly Willoughby, 30, and Reggie Yates, 28.

Hitting UK shores: will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas will join Jessie J as a coach

However, the former Dancing On Ice host is unlikely to please her bosses at ITV as she joins forces with the rival channel.

When The Voice was launched in the US this year it was marketed as a rival to The X Factor, which is broadcast on Holly's current employer ITV.

Speculation was rife last week when it was announced Willoughby would not be returning to the skating series this winter, with axed Daybreak host Christine Bleakley taking her place.

New gig: Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates have been announced the hosts of new talent show The Voice

Holly refused to be drawn on the rumours that she had signed on for The Voice gig, telling fans instead that all will be revealed 'next week.'

When she eventually released a statement, she said: 'I’m so excited to be hosting The Voice.

'When it launched in America I watched one of the shows and thought it was just a fantastic format, and when I heard it was coming to the UK I thought to myself how incredible it would be to be a part of it.

X Factor's new rival: Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are the celebrity mentors on the US version of The Voice

Mentor: Jessie J is the first singer confirmed to be playing judge and coach

'It’s going to be one rollercoaster of a ride and I can’t wait to get started!'

Her co-host Yates added: 'I’m so delighted to get this job and be part of such a credible music show.

'The format of The Voice in America has worked brilliantly and I have no doubt it will be just as successful on British TV. '

Leaving: Last week it was announced that Holly will be not returning to Dancing On Ice this season

The US show stars Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton as mentors who blindly select and judge the contestants based solely on their voice.

Jessie J has been confirmed as the first celebrity coach for the UK version.

Last week Holly wishes her successor well following the announcement that she was leaving Dancing On Ice.

Skating in her shoes: Axed Daybreak host Christine Bleakley was announced as her replacement

Willougby tweeted: 'Good luck to Christine Bleakley on this years Dancing on Ice. It's a truely (sic) magical show and you will love it. I'll miss you all very much!'

Bleakley said: 'My only concern was what a big task it is to follow the brilliant Holly and I can only promise her, Phillip and everyone at home that they couldn't have a bigger fan of the show on board.'

Schofield said he was 'absolutely delighted' that Bleakley was joining the show which was won last year by ex-EastEnders actor Sam Attwater.

Staying put: Holly will continue duties on This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield

Janet Devlin loses place in semi-final as she becomes the latest X Factor casualty

Remembering the lyrics may have helped? Janet Devlin loses place in semi-final as she becomes the latest X Factor casualty

By Nadia Mendoza

Last updated at 11:15 PM on 27th November 2011


Despite the strength in numbers of regional voting, Janet Devlin lost her place in The X Factor semi-final tonight.

After battling Misha B in the bottom two, it seems her native Ireland couldn't save her.

It comes as little surprise, considering she forgot the lyrics to her first song last night while performing Hanson track MMMBop in the Guilty Pleasures round.

Scroll down for video

Luck of the Irish ran out: Janet Devlin was sent home tonight after singing for survival against Misha B

The redhead performed well in the sing-off, tapping into the innocence of her very first audition with a rendition of Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.

 

But as Misha B belted out a hit from the Fame soundtrack, nailing her version of Out Here On My Own by Irene Cara, it was clear who was going to be saved.

Judge Louis Walsh said: 'It's getting tougher and tougher. I'm taking everything into consideration, judging on last night's two performances and the sing-off. The act I'm sending home is Janet.'

Home time: Janet's rendition of Snow Patrol Chasing Cars was not enough to save her against Misha B

Fellow panellist Tulisa Contostavlos followed his lead, saying: 'I'm going to base my decision on the person who has a career after the show, who will sell records and sellout arenas.

'I'm sorry to say I'm sending home Janet.'

Their mentor Kelly Rowland turned on the waterworks, refusing to decide between the two.

Humble: Janet gives rival Misha B a hug as she's voted off the show

She said: 'I know how great these two young ladies are. Janet, I admire you as a musician and you bring something so unique to the music industry. I absolutely love you and adore you.

'Misha, my goodness girl, you just want this so bad. I have to pass it, I'm sorry.'

Supporting Little Mix: Jessie J didn't hold back when Dermot asked her who she wants to win

Home turf: Olly Murs also found fame on the show, and now hosts The Xtra Factor

This meant that the majority verdict overruled, without Gary Barlow even having his say as Dermot O'Leary declared Janet was going home.

However, when O'Leary later quizzed Barlow, he said: 'I'd have sent Janet home.'

Janet simply said: 'I'm feeling very confused. I can't wait to leave the show and get my music out there.'

Success stories: JLS and One Direction returned to sing on the charity single, with both bands having found fame on the show

The show opened with guest appearances from Olly Murs and Jessie J, before the live show finalists sang charity single Wishing On A Star - which saw the return of Craig Colton and Sophie Habibis.

JLS and One Direction joined the contestants onstage, after they were called in at the last minute by Simon Cowell in a bid to boost sales on the track in honour of Together For Short Lives.

Potential No1? Simon Cowell brought in JLS and One Direction to sing on the song as he was worried about sales

Dermot announced: 'Good news. The chancellor has decided to waive VAT on the single, so all money will go to charity.'

Little Mix, Amelia Lily, Marcus Collins and Misha B will now compete in the semi-final next week.

welcome back! Johnny Robinson, Craig Colton and Sophie Habibis returned to sing the charity single

Support: Robbie Williams was seen arriving at the X Factor studios, no doubt invited by Gary Barlow
