If you thought none of The Voice coaches turning around for an auditioning contestant was hard to watch, just wait until you hear about the brand new red-chair twist in the rebooted ITV series.

Emma Willis - who will be hosting the show solo following its move from the BBC - told Digital Spy about the change of format, revealing: "If you don't push your button for a contestant, you don't get to see them.

"So only the people who press the button get to see who it is, so if no one turns, no one sees who sung."

So far, so harsh, but the presenter insists the twist will be "good for the show", and will allow the coaches - including will.i.am, Tom Jones, Gavin Rossdale and Jennifer Hudson - to be less apologetic and more critical.

"I think it is good - they do it in other territories on The Voice around the world, and it instigates different chat between the coaches.


"When they see someone who hasn't turned, it's very apologetic. But if they haven't seen that person and don't have to interact directly, it's a bit more 'that was a little bit off key', where they might not have said having seen them. So I think it's a good thing for the show."

We've seen a new side to Emma that we've never witnessed before.

On the BBC version of the show, the coaches' chairs turn around and they are introduced to each act, even if they didn't hit their buzzer for them.

Just sounds unnecessary. But then this is ITV.
