It means they can reflect, then add them to their team, which will certainly keep the singers on their toes."Outside of Destiny's Child, Kelly has has sold over 40 million records globally and is recognised for chart-topping singles such as Stole, Dilemma and Motivation. In 2011, she joined Gary Barlow, Tulisa and Louis Walsh on the judging panel of The X Factor and mentored acts such as Amelia Lily, Misha B and Janet Devlin.Speaking about the news last year, Kelly said: “I am excited to join The Voice UK as a coach, and am looking forward to working with the excellent and passionate coaches the show is known for.

Tom is back and forth from New York, working on taking Paddington: The Musical over there from London’s West End and he’s also in and out of the studio writing the eighth McFly album with Danny. As much as they would have liked to return to The Voice, sadly it’s impossible."Like this story?
