Petition to Keep Sir Tom Jones on The Voice UK Reaches 82,000 Signatures
The petition says removing the 86-year-old would deprive contestants of decades of music-industry mentorship.
- A Change petition calling for Sir Tom Jones to remain on The Voice has reached 82,224 signatures as fans respond to news that the 86-year-old music legend will not return for the 2027 series.
- ITV announced a major overhaul of The Voice for the 15th series, replacing Sir Tom with new coaches Cheryl and Aitch, stating they wanted to 'refresh' the show.
- Sir Tom claimed he did not choose to leave, accusing bosses of 'firing' him 'because of a financial difficulty with insurance,' and refused a reduced role.
- Supporters argue that removing the mentor will deprive contestants of 'decades of music industry experience,' asserting his critiques have been 'integral to the chemistry and success of the programme.'
- This marks the second time the singer has been dropped, following his 2016 exit from the BBC, though ITV stated they continue to discuss potential involvement in future series.
