The Voice UK 2021: Meet the contestants on this week’s blind auditions

Here’s a first look at the next episode of The Voice UK as it returns tonight (9 January).

This weekend sees the second set of blind try outs for the new series fresh from last weekend’s opening show

It’s the tenth season of the show and this year with four turning red chairs ready to be turned.

Original Voice stars Sir Tom Jones, Olly Murs and Will.i.am are all back together with new coach Anne-Marie.

The coaches are looking for nine contestants for their teams in the blind audition stages as they hunt for the next talented singers.

Budding performers belt their hearts out in a bid to get a coveted chair turn.

However this year adds a new element called The Block. Throughout the Blind auditions, all of the coaches has one chance to block one of their fellow coaches from selecting a act to their team.
