Fellow coach Sir Tom Jones recently hinted that he would return to the Saturday night singing contest too, and revealed that will.i.am and Danny O'Donoghue are also likely to continue on the show.
Annie Lennox, Sir Cliff Richard and Lulu have all previously been linked to spots on the second series of the programme.
The Voice UK will return to BBC One in spring 2013.

I apologise @sjp07. Guess it was a little insulting to Americans! She actually is just an attention seeking fool who cannot bare to be off camera for more than 2 minutes

Oh dear. She was the one I wanted to go. All those faux Americanisms, the o.t.t. actions, the 'i feel ya babe' - urgh.

I would like to know what all the money was spent on, though. If you add all the coaches salaries(i still wonder why will is paid the most) it doesn't even come close to a fifth of what they spent on the series. They clearly didn't use it on production so it had to have gone to just getting the series and all the major bosses.

Good Lord, was Lulu HONESTLY

considered for a spot on the show? What has she done recently, in the past decade or two other than try to reinvent herself on one of the shopping channels with a range of something or other? How many youngsters would be familiar with her work do you reckon? I know Sir Tom is one of the old crooners from our parents generation, but he's at least tried to remain "recent" thanks to his collaborations.
