The Voice

The announcement was that Jessie J is one of the Coaches...

A good choice I think.

Holly has left Dancing on Ice and has been replaced by Christine Bleakley.
Rumoured to have accepted hosting job on The Voice UK, she says, 'All will be revealed next week.'

I think Holly would make a great host for The Voice, I do hope this is true.

Confirmation of Holly Willoughby's involvement, in addition to the news that Reggie Yates will be joining her as co-presenter.

Well the Reggie Yates announcement is a huge turn off for me. Won't be watching if he is a main host.

I agree - he seems to be another one of those bland awful presenters like Ian Wright, Nick Knowles, etc that seems to get promoted above their ability.

I hope his role is fairly minor as I was looking forward to the programme and although Holly isn't that heavyweight, I think she could carry the show without a dead weight next to her.

Slight echoes of Fame Academy here...big format acquired to BBC1 to provide a more "credible" take on the talent show genre! Wonder how it'll do?

If it's like the US version, Reggie could be the one in the hub which is basically the Xtra Factor style show built into the main show, gauging reaction and reading tweets etc. I suppose his links to BBC Radio 1 will no doubt help in the promotion, which asks the question of why Fearne Cotton didn't get the job?

I would have preferred Holly as the solo presenter but I suppose Reggie isn't too bad of a presenter. Haven't seen him on a primetime TV show in ages.

Let's just be happy she didn't!!
