Kelly Rowland Posts Behind-the-Scenes Snap from Her Role as a Coach on 'The Voice UK'
Kelly Rowland will appear as a coach on the upcoming season of The Voice UK
Filming for season 14 of the British singing competition series is underway, but a premiere date is not currently known
The Destiny's Child alum has previously appeared on several singing competition showsKelly Rowland is buzzing about her latest gig.
On Monday, June 30, the 'Motivation' singer, 44, shared footage of herself on set as season 14 of The Voice UK's filming is underway.
'New gig, who dis…' she wrote over an Instagram Stories video of her walking past a row of empty coaches' chairs as crew members talked amongst themselves in the background.
At the bottom of the clip, she tagged the long-running singing competition series.
The Voice UK announced season 14's celebrity coaches at the start of the month in a June 3 social media post.
'Kelly… can you handle this? 😏,' the caption began, making a clever play at Destiny's Child's 2001 hit single, 'Bootylicious.' The post continued, 'Meet the Coaches newest recruit when The Voice UK returns ✌️.'
Rowland's photo appeared in the announcement, along with a shot of Tom Jones, will.i.am, and Tom Fletcher & Danny Jones, also known as British pop stars McFly.
All appeared in an Instagram Reels post that the Mea Culpa actress posted to her Instagram Stories on Monday.
'Have you heard the news?' was written over the video, which channeled a Mean Girls inspired whisper to the tune of Missy Elliott's 'Pass That Dutch' — the song famously associated with viewers learning all the juicy details about The Plastics.
In the video Rowland shared, the McFlys whispered to each other, making surprised faces before sharing the news with a stunned Jones, who then told will.i.am before he passed the information along to the 'Dilemma' star.
The clip ended with her making a funny face before she smiled and walked off.
The Voice UK isn't Rowland's first go at lending her expertise to a British singing competition — she also had a hand in putting Little Mix together on The X Factor UK.
'I just remember seeing all the ladies, and I don't know if it's because of my DC days and just feeling what that chemistry would feel like, but I knew what they felt like in my soul, and I felt like I knew what they would look like altogether and I went off my instincts, to be honest,' Rowland said in a November 2022 interview.
Rowland has also appeared on The X Factor US, The X Factor UK Interactive, and The Voice AU.
Additionally, Rowland will serve as a guest judge on Netflix's upcoming music competition series Building the Band. Contestants will have to come together to be bandmates without ever seeing one another.
Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean will serve as the host while Tony winner and former Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger will serve as mentor and judge.

Prior to Payne's death, Rowland told PEOPLE he was "absolutely hilarious" during their time working on the show. "I didn't know how funny he was, so I'm getting to know him, and he is so cool," she said in August 2024.
Building the Band premieres on Netflix on July 9.

On the Tuesday, July 1 episode of Good Morning Britain, TV presenter Ranvir Singh revealed how she was once left unable to hear or walk after her drink was spiked in a bar The 47-year-old said she was at a work event in the U.K. when the incident took place 'I remember feeling my legs go ... I can't even remember how I got home," said SinghGood Morning Britain host Ranvir Singh has revealed that she was once left unable to walk or hear after getting her drink spiked on a night out. The TV host, 47, said the incident occurred while at a work event over a decade ago during a segment about the rise of drink-spiking in Britain on the U.K. show on Tuesday, July 1. 'It was about 7:30 p.m., in the evening and it was my first drink. I had gone to the bar and I was waiting, I think it might have been a work thing … but no one else had arrived,' Singh recalled of the scary incident. 'I had arrived early and I went to the bar and bought one glass of wine as you would do,' she continued. 'I probably drank half of it, or maybe three quarters, and I thought I'm just going to nip to the [restroom] before everyone arrives.' At that moment, Singh said 'everything just started to swim." 'I remember feeling my legs go and I went downstairs. And by the time I came upstairs, I sort of managed to get myself up, I couldn't hear anything, my hearing had gone," she recalled. "You instantly know that something weird has happened"@ranvir01 shares how she was spiked at a bar in Manchester. — Good Morning Britain (@GMB) July 1, 2025 After eventually managing to make her way back up the stairs, Singh said she remembered 'looking down the bar thinking, 'I can't go back down there' and I just left,' adding, 'I can't even remember getting home.' Drink spiking is when someone puts alcohol or drugs into another person's drink without their permission, potentially leading to harmful effects. It is illegal in the U.K. and U.S., chargeable with a Class 4 felony which could lead to up to ten years in prison. According to a poll carried out in December 2022, 10% of women and 5% of men in the U.K. reported that a drink of theirs had previously been spiked, with the majority of victims of all spiking offences being women at 74%, per is now available in the Apple App Store!

It's amazing how common it is,' added Singh. Read the original article on People

BBC boss Tim Davie was at Glastonbury during Bob Vylan set
The BBC's director-general was at Glastonbury Festival when Bob Vylan led chants of 'Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' that were broadcast live. It is understood Tim Davie was on a visit to meet staff at the Somerset music event on Saturday afternoon when the set was taking place. He was informed after Bobby Vylan, one half of the British rap punk duo, led his audience in chants that also included 'Free, free Palestine'. The performance, which took place at the West Holts Stage, was livestreamed by the BBC but the organisation later expressed regret for not stopping its broadcast of the 'unacceptable' set. A BBC spokesperson said: 'The director-general was informed of the incident after the performance and at that point he was clear it should not feature in any other Glastonbury coverage.' The news of Mr Davie's presence at the festival comes as the Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis berated the BBC for what he called 'the airing of vile Jew-hatred' and the broadcaster's 'belated and mishandled response'. The corporation has faced strong criticism for continuing to livestream the performance on iPlayer with on-screen warnings about discriminatory language. Broadcasting regulator Ofcom saying it was 'very concerned' by the decision and the Culture Secretary claimed the issue should have been foreseeable and constituted 'a problem of leadership' for the BBC. In a post on X, Sir Ephraim wrote: 'This is a time of national shame. 'The airing of vile Jew-hatred at Glastonbury and the BBC's belated and mishandled response, brings confidence in our national broadcaster's ability to treat antisemitism seriously to a new low. 'It should trouble all decent people that now, one need only couch their outright incitement to violence and hatred as edgy political commentary, for ordinary people to not only fail to see it for what it is, but also to cheer it, chant it and celebrate it. 'Toxic Jew-hatred is a threat to our entire society.' Irish rap trio Kneecap, including member Liam Og O hAnnaidh who appeared in court earlier this month charged with a terror offence, took to the stage directly after Bob Vylan and led chants of 'Free Palestine'. On Monday, Avon and Somerset Police said it had launched a probe into both performances after reviewing video footage and audio recordings, with a senior detective appointed to lead the investigation. A police spokesman said: 'This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our inquiries are at an early stage. 'The investigation will be evidence-led and will closely consider all appropriate legislation, including relating to hate crimes.' In a statement on Monday, the BBC said: 'Millions of people tuned in to enjoy Glastonbury this weekend across the BBC's output but one performance within our livestreams included comments that were deeply offensive. 'The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. 'The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves. 'We welcome Glastonbury's condemnation of the performance. 'The performance was part of a livestream of the West Holts stage on BBC iPlayer. 'The judgment on Saturday to issue a warning on screen while streaming online was in line with our editorial guidelines. 'In addition, we took the decision not to make the performance available on demand. 'The team were dealing with a live situation, but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.' US deputy secretary of state Christopher Landau announced that Bob Vylan's US visas had been revoked due to 'their hateful tirade at Glastonbury', with the duo scheduled to tour in Chicago, Brooklyn and Philadelphia in October. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told the Commons on Monday the Government was 'exasperated' with the 'lack of account from the leadership' at the BBC. Ms Nandy said the incident at Worthy Farm had raised 'very, very serious questions at the highest levels of the BBC about the operational oversight and the way in which editorial standards are understood', adding that she wanted to see 'rapid action' from the broadcaster. Cabinet minister Jonathan Reynolds said the scenes at Glastonbury raised wider concerns about society. He told BBC Radio 4's Today: 'There are some lessons, I think, for broadcasters from this, but let's also not shy away from the issue, which is people in a crowd glorifying violence. 'I don't think it's something we'd associate with any music festival, but it's a wider societal problem.' He added:'It's possible, I think, to be completely concerned by the scenes in Gaza and not stray into the kind of behaviour and endorsement that we saw with that performance. 'And I'm deeply shocked to be honest, that people would even not realise what I think they're participating in when they do that.' Glastonbury Festival organisers also condemned Bob Vylan's chants, saying it was 'appalled' by what was said on stage, adding 'there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence'. Bob Vylan formed in Ipswich in 2017 and have released four albums addressing issues such as racism, masculinity and class. Bobby Vylan is the stage name of Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, according to reports. His bandmate drummer uses the alias Bobbie Vylan. In a statement posted to Instagram, he said: 'Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place. 'As we grow older and our fire starts to possibly dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us.'
