Reports suggest that television personalities Stacey Solomon and Alesha Dixon are set to become the new hosts of The Voice UK. This development comes as current host Emma Willis is rumored to be transitioning to host Strictly Come Dancing later this fall.
Sources indicate that Dixon, 47, will handle introductions of performers on stage, while Solomon, 36, will conduct backstage interviews with contestants. The reported pairing is said to have impressed ITV executives following their on-screen chemistry when Solomon appeared as a guest judge on Britain's Got Talent. An insider told The Mirror that their dynamic was immediately apparent, with Dixon finding Solomon "hilarious" during her appearance.

Willis, who has hosted The Voice UK for 12 years, has not made an official announcement regarding her departure. However, sources close to the show suggest she has "accepted her time on the show is over." Her potential move to Strictly Come Dancing, alongside Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe, would create a scheduling conflict with The Voice UK, as both programs are broadcast in the autumn.
An insider previously shared with The Sun that Willis was very open about her dream of hosting Strictly, and that this opportunity took precedence over her role on The Voice. "She has been super open behind-the-scenes how it was her dream gig," the source stated.

The coaching panel for the upcoming season will include returning coaches Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am, Tom Fletcher, and Danny Jones. They will be joined by global artist Kelly Rowland. "We’re back. Kelly Rowland has joined us and she’s just incredible. She’s everything you’d want from a coach," Willis commented previously on Rowland's addition to the team.
The Voice UK is scheduled to air Saturdays from August 22 at 7 p.m. on ITV1, ITVX, STV, and STV Player.
