'The Voice' UK revamp ordered after viewing figures fall?

'The Voice' UK revamp ordered after viewing figures fall?

The Voice UK will reportedly be revamped following concerns about the most recent instalments of the show.

According to the Daily Star, producers are planning dramatic changes aimed at regaining viewers after the programme's figures dropped last weekend.

The Voice UK Results Show 1: Will.i.am and Jessie J react to the results.

The coaches will reportedly no longer perform a song together at the start of the show, after criticism of their rendition of U2's 'Beautiful Day'. Instead they will sing with their own acts, following the lead of the US version of the programme.

A string of guest stars, including Adele, are also apparently being lined up to perform alongside the contestants.

In addition, double eliminations from each team will be introduced to create more drama.

The coaches have also reportedly been asked to become more critical and cruel, and have been told to 'do their homework' following an incident when Sir Tom Jones called contestant Joelle Moses "Jolene".

A source said: "The BBC know that The Voice is liked by fans but the first live show didn't quite go as planned.

"They're ordering a shake-up because they cannot afford to lose viewers."
