Destiny's Child star joins The Voice UK

Kelly, can you handle this?! Kelly Rowland is the new coach on The Voice UK

A new coach is joining The Voice UK line-up, after LeAnn Rimes left the show.

LeAnn joined the show as a coach last year, but said she would not be returning this year, as she wanted to 'focus on her career in the US' instead.

Now, ITV have confirmed that singer Kelly Rowland will join the coaching team for the new season.

She'll join fellow coaches Sir Tom Jones, Will.i.am and McFly's Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones - who share a double red chair.

Kelly said that she is looking forward to working with the other coaches on the show and said she "can't wait to hear all the new talent and to go to battle for my team. Let's go!"
