EXCLUSIVE The Voice UK coach REVEALED after LeAnn Rimes quit as ITV hires US superstar with link to Beyoncé for new series
The Voice UK have recruited a former X Factor judge to become the show's latest superstar coach. MailOnline can reveal Destiny's Child star Kelly Rowland, 44, has signed up to the long running ITV show in replacement of LeAnn Rimes, 42, who quit this year after just one season. The Grammy Award-winning singer, who starred in the girlband alongside Beyoncé and Michelle Williams, is 'thrilled' to be the programme's latest addition after previously serving as a judge on The X Factor UK in 2011, as well as The Voice Australia. Kelly joins longtime panelists 50, and Tom Jones, 84, and McFly co-stars Danny Jones, and Tom Fletcher, both 39, who are all returning to the show when auditions begin in the UK this summer. Singer Kelly has had previously experience on a UK judging panel when she appeared with Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos on The X Factor, and two years later established herself on the US version of the show with music boss Simon Cowell. Not only famed for global hits Say My Name, Survivor, and Independent Woman with Destiny's Child, Kelly also celebrates a successful solo career with singles Dilemma, Stole, and Work. A TV source told MailOnline: ' The Voice UK are so excited Kelly is joining the panel. 'She's an international superstar who knows how to spot talent with history on shows of this kind. 'Her experience is unmatched, and bosses are hoping she brings a new energy to the show which will be felt not only by the hopefuls auditioning but also the viewers watching at home. 'The coaching panel are really thrilled too, especially who thinks Kelly joining is the best thing to happen in years.' The Voice UK, presented by Emma Willis, has been running on ITV for over 13 years and has featured stars including Meghan Trainor, Olly Murs, Jessie J, and Anne-Marie on the panel. While the coaches have changed over the years, and Tom Jones have remained the show's longest serving judges, having been on the series since its beginning. It was revealed that LeAnn had left the show after one series last month to focus on her career in the US and appearances on the American version as a mentor alongside Sheryl Crow. McFly stars Danny and Tom will once again share a seat on the upcoming 14th series after their act Ava Mannings won the show last year. The Voice UK will be Danny's first TV gig since the fallout from his drunk BRIT Awards kiss with former Love Island star Maura Higgins. Danny and Maura were caught on film sharing an embrace at a music after party, which subsequently rocked the star's marriage to wife Georgia Horsley. The couple, who share son Cooper, haven't pictured each other on their social media pages since the incident but are believed to still be living together at their new London home. Bassist Danny, who joined The Voice UK in 2024, met Maura during his appearance on I'm A Celeb last year, which saw him crowned King of the Jungle. He apologised for any wrongdoing in a statement posted to Instagram saying he 'regretted' putting his family in such a position.

I forgave LeAnn Rimes for stealing my husband but we're feuding again over bold move with my son, says Brandi Glanville
They were at each other's throats for ten years, then famously made up. Now Hollywood's most famous feud is back on. 5 5 Brandi Glanville, her ex-husband, actor Eddie Cibrian, and the woman who replaced her, LeAnn Rimes, are fighting again. They have fallen out over a party organised by Eddie and LeAnn for Eddie and Brandi's son, Jake, at Nobu restaurant in Los Angeles to celebrate his 18th birthday. Brandi was not invited to this important milestone. 'I'm his mother, and I'm not invited?' said Brandi, the 52-year-old former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. 'Eddie and I had a huge fight. There was a party at Nobu, but I wasn't invited, I wasn't invited to my own son's birthday party. 'LeAnn's his wife, she takes his side. I texted her about something else, but she didn't reply. 'Eddie is so in the mood to fight right now. Eddie and I aren't talking, we're not getting on. 'I need time to heal.' For Mason's 18th birthday party in 2021, Brandi, Eddie and LeAnn celebrated at STK Steakhouse in Los Angeles. Brandi is bewildered as to why, then, for Jake's party, she was snubbed. In 2009, Eddie, 51, Brandi's husband of eight years and the father of her sons, Jake and Mason, 21, left her for country singer, LeAnn, 42, whom he went on to marry in 2011. Brandi, the betrayed wife, vented her rage at them both and particularly LeAnn, at the start. On one occasion she even threatened to kill her. In an interview with The Sun in January this year, she said: 'It was not long after Eddie had left me for her. 'It was Eddie's day with our sons, and he'd taken them to a football match. 'LeAnn was with them. They're my kids, so obviously I was going to go too. 'When I got there, I saw LeAnn. She shouldn't have been there - it was too early in the relationship. 'She's sitting there, she's got my two-year-old, Jake, on my lap. 'I lost it. I walked over to her, grabbed Jake, and said to LeAnn: 'I will f***ing kill you. Everything you need to know about Brandi Glanville Career highlights Modelling: Beginning her career at 16, Brandi moved to Paris and signed with Elite Model Management. She walked in Paris Fashion Week by the age of 18 and worked with renowned brands such as Valentino, Versace, Chanel, Giorgio Armani, and Gucci. She also featured in magazines like Glamour and Cosmopolitan. Reality Television: She rose to prominence on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (2011-2016, 2019-2020) and appeared on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Other shows include Celebrity Apprentice, Celebrity Big Brother (both U.K. and U.S.), Famously Single, and My Kitchen Rules. Author: Brandi has written two New York Times best-selling books: Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders (2013) and Drinking and Dating (2014). Other Ventures: She hosts the podcast Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, launched the clothing line "Brand B" in 2012, a T-shirt line in 2014, and her wine collection, Brandi Glanville's Unfiltered Blonde. Relationships Eddie Cibrian: Brandi married actor Eddie Cibrian in 2001, and they have two sons, Mason and Jake. They separated in 2009 after Eddie's affair with singer LeAnn Rimes, finalising their divorce in 2010. LeAnn Rimes: After a strained relationship due to the affair, Brandi and LeAnn co-parent amicably. Other Relationships: She has been linked to several individuals, including Jordan Davies, Theo Von, Calum Best, John Kerwin, and Johnny Messner. Brandi has also reportedly dated celebrities like Gerard Butler and Ben Stiller. Denise Richards: Brandi claimed to have had an affair with Denise Richards, a claim Denise has denied. 'I was raging. I really wanted to hurt her.' But ten years later, Brandi, Eddie and LeAnn buried the hatchet and became besties. 'It's the old saying, time heals,' said Brandi in the interview this year. 'I've forgiven the two of them for breaking up my family. 'We're friends.' Brandi said the fact that all three were getting on so well makes the episode all the more upsetting. 'I just don't understand it,' she said. Brandi and Eddie met in a nightclub and married in 2001. She thought she'd married her 'Prince Charming' but then in 2008, Eddie made a movie with LeAnn and the fairytale unravelled. She found out about the affair in a magazine. 5 5 'Pictures of Eddie and LeAnn kissing in a restaurant were plastered across the pages of a magazine,' she said later. 'It was devastating. I went home, passed out in my closet, and cried and cried. 'She was married at the time, also. This affair was ruining two families.' Brandi hated Eddie and LeAnn. 'It was really ugly,' she said. 'I did not want my kids around her. She had got my husband and she was not getting my children. 'I was out for revenge. 'She knew how to wind me up. I don't think LeAnn understood how she should behave to the mother of her husband's children. "She would say things like, 'I can't wait for them to call me 'mum' and 'I can't wait to make your kids' sandwiches.'" The three of them went to therapy. They saw three separate therapists, but it didn't work. The turning point for Brandi was when her sons told her: 'Mum, all we want is for everyone to get along.' The irony of the present situation is that the reconciliation came about as a result of Brandi's thinking how childish it was to keep having two separate parties for special occasions. 'The boys would have two birthdays, two Christmases. I was like: Why are we having two separate parties? 'Why don't we grow up and have parties all together?' Why, indeed? Both Eddie and LeAnn responded 'positively' to Brandi's suggestion they start having joint parties. 'So we started having birthdays and Christmas at LeAnn and Eddie's house,' Brandi said earlier this year. 'They have a pool, they have a nicer house, it's better for hosting events. It has its advantages. I don't have to host, cook, or clean. 'We do things together as a family. If Jake has wrestling, all four of us will go. It's a family affair.' Things were so civilised that Mason, with Brandi's blessing, was living most of the time at Eddie and LeAnn's house, where he had 'his own space'. Brandi said in January that as Jake would soon be turning 18, she, Eddie and LeAnn were planning to go and look at some colleges together. That, presumably, won't be happening anytime soon.
