The trio will no doubt be busy filming the pre-recorded semi-final and final after the ninth series, which kicked off in January, was halted due to the coronavirus lockdown.

ITV said earlier this year: ‘We have taken the difficult decision to postpone The Voice UK’s live Semi-Final and Final until later this year.

Meghan pulled out of the series after she announced her pregnancy last week on The Daily Show, alongside her spouse Daryl Sabaram, who is best known for his acting work in Spy Kids. 

‘We’re so excited we couldn’t sleep,’ she said after Daryl blurted out, ‘We’re pregnant!’ She also took to Instagram to share a photo of the sonogram. 

Series 10 of the The Voice UK is set to return to ITV next year with 12 episodes featuring the classic rounds of the blind auditions, the battles, the semi finals and the final.  

A new round called ‘The Block’ is also set to be introduced, which is sure to set tempers flaring as it allows coaches to block a fellow coach from adding a singer to his or her team.   

The lucky winner of The Voice 2021 will secure a recording contract with Universal’s label UMOD. Emma Willis will be returning as the show host.
