Sir Tom said: "I'm raring to go on the search for some talented new singers.  Bringing in the trio element will present a new sound that could shake everything up.  We'll have to see of course, but whether it's a solo singer, a duo or a trio, I'm hoping to find someone with that special spark. I'm so proud and excited about my winner, Ruti, who is in the studio doing some very impressive work, she's developing into a true artist and I can't wait for you all to hear her!"

 

Entertainer, innovator and seven-time Grammy award winner, will.i.am also returns. will said: "The UK always surprises me with some of the freshest artists and this keeps me coming back for more. By adding trios, we're raising the bar, so bring it on UK!"

 

The winner will be set on the road to realising their artistic ambitions with the ultimate prize of a recording contract with music giants Polydor Records.

 

2019 will also see the return of The Voice Kids on ITV Choice, tune in over the summer as once again the coaches search for Britain's best young singer.
