The Voice UK set to give fans sneak peek at their new look ITV show

THE Voice UK is set to provide viewers with an exciting sneak peek of their new look ITV show with their new teaser trailer.

Their first promo will be launching during the I'm A Celebrity final on Sunday in preparation for the show to start its first series on ITV after switching over from five years on the BBC.

The promo sees superstar coaches will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones, Jennifer Hudson and Gavin Rossdale take their seats for a blind audition like no other – with the power of the voice they hear launching them into space and zero gravity.

The coaches first took to their famous red chairs back in October as the blind auditions kicked off.

Along with the show's move to ITV, there are some brand new rules as the contest will focus even more on the quality of contestants’ vocal talent - with a shocking twist that means judges are now unable to see the identity of a budding popstar UNLESS they press their buzzer.

The rules change has ramped up the drama as the show makes the switch from the BBC to rival broadcaster ITV.

Host Emma Willis revealed that the coaches now need to press their judges’ buttons in the audition round to make their chairs swivel round in order to see a show hopeful, and revealed: “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.”

In previous years, judges who weren’t impressed by an audition could then see what they missed out on after they finished their song chairs would then turn automatically.

They said: “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.”

Sir Tom Jones also revealed in October that returning to The Voice "saved his life" after his wife’s tragic death from cancer in April.

The superstar cancelled concerts and feared he could not carry on after Linda, 75 — his partner of 59 years — died of cancer in April.

Sir Tom was axed as a coach by the BBC for the show’s 2016 series, after four years.

He said he had no idea why.

But he was re-hired for next year after ITV poached the talent show.

He said Linda would have been “thrilled”.

And he said he was grateful for the chance to “come back and prove I really belong”.

The Voice UK will be presented by Emma Willis and launches on ITV in January.
