The Voice Filming Begins WITHOUT Tom Jones - Then 'Will I Am' Does THIS!

Sir Tom Jones may be gone from The Voice UK coaching panel, but ITV still can't escape the controversy. Filming for the new series has now begun — and Will.I.Am reportedly stopped proceedings to deliver an emotional tribute to his longtime friend and fellow coach. After previously backing a petition calling for Sir Tom's reinstatement, Will.I.Am reportedly told the studio audience that he cried when he discovered the 86-year-old legend wouldn't be returning. It comes as ITV officially launches its new coaching panel featuring Cheryl, Aitch, Kelly Rowland and Will.I.Am. But with thousands of viewers demanding Tom's return, ITV describing him as “irreplaceable”, and his former colleague still talking emotionally about his departure, has ITV seriously underestimated just how important Sir Tom was to The Voice? We look at the latest developments, Cheryl's arrival, the extraordinary first day of filming and why ITV's attempt to begin a fresh chapter may instead have put Sir Tom Jones right back at the centre of the story. #TomJones #SirTomJones #TheVoiceUK #WillIAm #Cheryl #ITV #TheVoice #CelebrityNews #UKCelebs #UKTV #EntertainmentNews #TomJonesNews
