The Voice: Olly Murs puts his fingers in his ears
The Voice fans have been speculating online about who could replace axed judge Olly Murs.
One astute viewer noticed that two other big talent shows have been cancelled and pondered if the judges from those may just move across.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter a user with the handle @superTV247 mused: “Now that The Voice Kids and Starstruck have been cancelled I wonder if ITV’s plan is to bring over talent from those shows – Danny Jones or Adam Lambert perhaps? or Shania Twain ideally.”
@greenflagwaved was excited about one of those options commenting: “Danny jones would be a great shout.” (sic)
Shania Twain and Adam Lambert were both judges on ITV’s Starstruck before it was cancelled.

However, both currently have incredibly busy schedules, making an appearance on The Voice UK unlikely.
Adam has touring commitments with rock legends Queen from early next month through to mid-February 2024, and he is also due to take up a judging role in the next series of Australian Idol.
Meanwhile, Shania is currently on tour and will begin her third Las Vegas residency in May next year.
Danny Jones, from McFly was a judge on The Voice Kids and also has a busy touring schedule until the end of the year. Although, it is unknown what the band’s plans are for next year.
Olly, who has been a mainstay on The Voice for six years admitted that he was informed through his talent team that The Voice bosses were looking for new people for the show.

The 39-year-old admitted he was “gutted” to not be going back to the show after being a judge since 2018.
During his time on the show, the former X Factor star has won the competition twice and has successfully mentored his chosen artists each time.
He confessed that he would especially miss Tom Jones after growing close to the iconic Delilah singer and drinking champagne with him after their shows.
Despite his disappointment, he has admitted that he will still watch the show and he quickly landed another gig supporting Take That on their upcoming tour.
