Viewers of hit ITV singing competition The Voice immediately took to Twitter to celebrate its return to screens.

However, they were left seriously distracted by veteran judge Tom, 82 - as they gushed that he was "hotter" than Olly Murs.

The Sexbomb singer was seen dressing up in a red suit as he sang and danced around - wowing with his vocal control as he led the performance of Kygo hit Higher Love.

One fan wrote to Twitter after the song: "I'm not sure who's hotter, Sir Tom Jones or Olly Murs."

"Oh lovely time for a bit of sexy Tom, my guilty pleasure," a second added, as a third said: "At about 82 years young, Tom Jones still has his iconic voice."

A fourth chimed in: "Sir Tom Jones you are a LEGEND."

It comes after Tom revealed his secret feud with a legendary crooner who refused to sing with him at Platinum Jubilee.

He explained that he was due to perform at the concert, but dropped out because diva Shirley Bassey was being a diva.

The Goldfinger legend refused to share a stage with her fellow Welsh singer at the event in June, even though they were lined up to duet his song Delilah.

Ahead of ITV’s The Voice returning tomorrow, Tom said: “She was going to be the surprise guest on my slot and Shirley said, ‘If I don’t get my own spot I’m not going to do it’.”

If that didn’t hurt enough, Tom is also enduring the discomfort of a dodgy hip, which he needs replacing immediately.

But he has defied doctors’ orders because he is going on a US tour.
