Series 10 of The Voice launched on Saturday night and featured an appearance from Stevie Wonder.

He appeared via video link with a special message for Sir Tom who celebrated his 80th birthday last year.

Stevie was seen singing Tom’s hit It’s Not Unusual before saying: “I had the pleasure of not just meeting that person who sang that song but meeting a new friend.

“And I know that that friendship will last for a lifetime.

“So many wonderful moments we’ve shared. I still remember when we did your show and I was telling you the words to Uptight, you were telling me the words to It’s Not Unusual. I played drums and it was just a wonderful thing.

“I love you with my whole heart and I want you to promise me that you will do your best to give us another 80 years.”

An emotional Tom commented to his fellow judges: “He’s a wonderful person and it was a pleasure to sing with him.

“I hope I can sing with him again sometime.”

Hosted as usual by Emma Willis, The Voice UK continues on Saturday nights on ITV.
