Sir Tom Jones has made it VERY clear he didn't choose to leave The Voice UK 😳⁠
⁠
The 86-year-old singer has said ITV made the decision to remove him as a full-time coach, claiming he was only told recently and that the reason given involved a “financial difficulty with insurance”.⁠
⁠
Sir Tom has been part of The Voice UK since its launch in 2012, appearing as a coach for 13 of its 14 series.⁠
⁠
Addressing his future on the show, he said: “They are offering a much-reduced role where I would make an appearance but without being actually involved from the start, and I’m not thrilled about that.”⁠
⁠
ITV has said it is in talks with Sir Tom and is “hopeful” he will return in some capacity.⁠
⁠
Sir Tom ended his statement: “So the only thing I know right now, is that there’s never a good time to fire an 86-year-old who’s still pretty good at his job.”⁠
