THE Voice fans have been given a first look at the upcoming 2020 series, and Olly Murs looks rather different.

The 35-year-old popstar sports his bleach blonde hairdo as he prepares to find the UK's next singing sensation.

Sat alongside coaches will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones, the Dance With Me Tonight hitmaker looks impressed as Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart plays in the background.

Noticeably absent is fourth coach, Jennifer Hudson, who has been replaced by fellow US singer Meghan Trainor.

It was announced in September that the 25-year-old would be joining the ITV reality show, and she certainly looks ready to compete.

Sporting a show-stopping silver dress and nails to match, Meghan looks raring to go as she hits her button and jumps from her seat.

The blonde star certainly brings plenty of experience, having appeared on Fox’s US singing contest The Four alongside Sean Combs and DJ Khaled.

Commenting on her new role, she said: "I am so excited and honoured to join Sir Tom, Will and Olly as a coach on The Voice UK.

"It’s a dream come true and I can’t wait to sit in the chair with my own button and listen to some incredible new talent."

Jennifer quit the show as she is playing Aretha Franklin in a biopic about the iconic singer, as well as finalising her work on the hotly anticipated big screen version of West End musical Cats.

Speaking about his new co-star, Olly said: "I’m really looking forward to getting to know her."

The Voice host Emma Willis was quick to heap praise on the new arrival too, and added: "Meghan is a fab choice. It’s always exciting when a new coach arrives."

The Voice UK returns to ITV in January 2020.
