Kylie joins up with Sir Tom on TV talent show

-

KYLIE Minogue is to make a return to The Voice as she joins team Sir Tom Jones.

The pop star – who was a coach on the show during its BBC days in 2014 – joins as a mentor alongside Sir Tom to offer advice in the knockout stage of the ITV show, airing next month.

Each of the Welsh singer’s acts performed for him and Minogue in a bid to fine-tune their performanc­es.

It comes after Craig David was revealed as joining Olly Murs while will.i.am is teaming up with his bandmates the Black Eyed Peas.

Sir Tom said: “I have known Kylie for a long time so it is nice to have someone you know personally giving you help.

“It is reassuring having a friend as well as such an experience­d profession­al.

“It was tremendous working with her when we were both coaches on The Voice UK in the past. She is an accomplish­ed artist and a really lovely person.”

Minogue, who has family in Maesteg, said: “It’s so great to be back amongst The Voice family as a guest mentor for Tom Jones.

“I love working with Sir Tom and have been blown away by the talent in his team this series.

“What a pleasure to work with such a great group of contestant­s and it’s fair to say I’ll be keenly following the rest of the series.”

Jennifer Hudson’s guest mentor is yet to be announced.
