Will Tom Jones Be Next To Quit 'The Voice'?

The Voice judges are dropping like flies! Jessie J and Danny O'Donoghue are both said to be leaving to concentrate on other projects after two series as big red chair judges. Will.i.am is rumoured to be considering taking up a better offer as an American Idol judge and now singer Sir Tom Jones is reportedly in talks to negotiate his tenure on the show.

.However, a BBC spokesperson has made it clear that no concrete decisions have been made regarding whether Jones or Will.i.am will stay as judges or not: "It is not true that either Tom or Will have decided to leave. The line-up is still to be confirmed and we are in ongoing conversations."

There is speculation that a dip in ratings in the second season could have challenged confidence in the show after series two failed to attract as large an audience as its first year, only pulling ahead towards the final episodes that saw Ireland's Andrea Begley crowned the winner. Tom's winner, Leanne Mitchell, saw abysmal sales of her first album with less than 1,000 copies sold in its first week, peaking at 134 in the album charts.

Announcements regarding the coach line-up for the programme's third series are expected soon. Maybe The Voice bosses need to make those twirly red chairs more comfortable?
