Says the singer: "I love kids, I love to sing and I love to share all I know about singing and performing. The idea of combining those three things again on The Voice Kids is a dream come true. I am grateful to have been asked back. I am so excited to share my experience with the young singers on the show, who are just starting to discover themselves as singers.

"I will be protective of their experience emotionally, as well as vocally. It's a huge moment in their lives and I am happy I get to be someone to help and hold their hand. It's a fun and awesome panel to be joining. I love Pixie and Danny and I can't wait to be sitting alongside my friend will."
