Tom Jones’ face has been seen on The Voice UK since the start (minus one season). Today, the singer revealed that he has effectively been fired from the singing competition…again.
Jones wrote: “To be clear, I did not want to leave The Voice as I love the show and really appreciate the audience. ITV made this decision — obviously a while ago, and I was told just recently. The reason given is because of a financial difficulty with insurance. They now say in the press they wanted to ‘refresh’ the show, and with a new coaching line-up there wouldn’t be a chair for me. They are offering a much-reduced role where I would make an appearance but without being actually involved from the start, and I’m not thrilled about that. So the only thing I know right now, is that there’s never a good time to fire an 86-year-old who’s still pretty good at his job.”
As I mentioned, this is not the first time this has happened. He was not invited back for season 5, and the fans were not happy with that decision and they let their voices be heard. Therefore, he was back in the red chair the following season.
Will history repeat itself? It should, because who doesn’t love the It’s Not Unusual singer?
Save Tom Jones’ job!
