That new-look coaches panel for The Voice UK is causing all sorts of drama, with Sir Tom Jones now claiming that he was dropped with no warning.

Earlier today, the BBC announced that The Voice would be replacing new X Factor judge Rita Ora and Sir Tom Jones with Boy George and Paloma Faith next year.

Returning to the BBC One talent competition's judging panel will be veterans Ricky Wilson and will.i.am.

The announcement didn't sit well with original Voice UK coach Jones, who has claimed in a blog that he was only informed that he'd been dropped yesterday (August 13).

Jones wrote on Facebook: "About The Voice UK: In good faith, as part of the team, I'd put the time in my schedule to be involved in Series 5, as I've done s for the last 4 years. I've supported the show and the BBC since the beginning.

"I was told yesterday, with no consultation or conversation of any kind, that I would not be returning. Having been through plenty of transformations throughout the years, I support and admire creative change. But being informed, as a matter of duty and respect, is an important part of creative relationships.

"This sub-standard behaviour from the executives is very disappointing. I will always admire the courage of the performers who participate in the show, as well as all the production staff who worked tirelessly to make a great family viewing experience for the audience at home. I wish the show well."

Controversy unfolding?

Oop.

Not Tom getting Brian Dowling'd

[Marc]

Paloma <3

[Shaun]

Paloma & BG are great additions (although I do think she might've just been a brief "haha wasn't she funny?" moment on Buzzcocks that's been milked a bit ever since) but until will.i.am. and the charisma-vacuum Ricky go, and the actual show becomes remotely interesting / musically relevant, I'll be avoiding it again.

edit: just read about poor Tom. Death to all of them!!!!!!!

[reece(:]

the man is a twat, can't expect Clarkson to keep his job after saying something vile and doing something vile.

There must be something wrong with that one particular chair because I've found both Danny and Ricky to be tediously dull.

[smudgie]

Can't believe they have replaced Sir Tom with BG.
Hopefully BG has managed to get his head unstuck from up his own backside at last.
Paloma is one of our favourites, but not a clue what she willbe liKe as a judge.
Thrilled that Will.I.am and Ricky are still there.❤️

[Amy Jade]

so basically the judges have 1 person between them who have current appeal in music? Paloma ♡♡ but the rest are irrel tbh Will sucks now and the ginger guy is crap.

I would say I'm not watching now, but I wouldn't of watched regardless of who the judges were
I much prefer Strictly to X factor, but ITV wins for me in the Voice vs BGT (even though they don't overlap anymore but still)
