Prior to the beginning of the previous series, Olly Murs announced that he had been axed from the show, and that the twelfth series would be his last as a coach.[2][3] The following month, it was announced that Anne-Marie had also been axed from the series with the show's producers reportedly wanting to "refresh the show".[4][5] Emma Willis returned for her eleventh series as presenter, whilst will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones returned for their thirteenth and twelfth series as coaches respectively.[6] In February 2024, LeAnn Rimes was announced as Anne-Marie's replacement, whilst Murs was replaced by both McFly singers Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, the latter of whom served as a coach on the spin-off version The Voice Kids since its inception.[7][8] The pair made up the show's first ever "double chair", a format that has previously been used in other versions of The Voice franchise, which saw them share the same chair and make decisions throughout the series collaboratively.[9][10] This also marked the first time since the sixth season to feature two new coaches.
