Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue has been named as one of the new coach on the British version of The Voice.
Signing up for the third series of the show in the UK, Kylie is set to join fellow coaches will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones with another coach yet to be announced.
“I’m very excited to become a coach on The Voice,” Minogue said in a statement.
“I love the concept of the show and have been an avid viewer of both series. “The search for new talent is such an important aspect of the music industry and The Voice gives us all a part to play in that. Will I be competitive? Probably more than even I imagine! Watch this space!”
British TV company BBC which airs the show, is hoping Kylie will bring back the fans.
While the show had a strong first season, with an average of 9.21 million viewers, the second season struggled averaging just 7.65 million viewers. While these numbers seem big, British TV viewing numbers are much larger than Australia.
While The Voice has popularity, rival shows The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent have more of a following and winning artists go on to more successful careers.
Kylie, who will take over from last season’s coach singer Jessie J, looks like she has a big job ahead of her.
