The Voice UK has announced the new coach taking over from Meghan Trainor for series 10.
The 'Me Too' singer, who previously replaced Jennifer Hudson in the line-up, announced she is pregnant with her first child earlier this month.
While Meghan will complete filming for the current season of the show, she confirmed she would no longer take part in filming for the 2021 series.
Instead, she will be replaced by Anne-Marie.
