'The Voice' UK launch date confirmed, new trailer unveiled

The Voice UK's rumoured launch date of March 24 has seemingly been confirmed.

The talent competition - which features Jessie J, will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue as coaches - will, as speculated, debut on the same day as its ITV rival Britain's Got Talent, according to the show's official Twitter profile.

"Two weeks from now, something new will be on your television," a post read. "Something so great you'll want to run up and kiss the screen. Just FYI."

The announcement comes after a new trailer for The Voice debuted on the BBC yesterday (March 9).

The latest clip features the most footage from the show yet, including interviews with the panel, a first look at some contestants and bickering between the coaches.

Speaking about the possibility of a clash between The Voice and Britain's Got Talent earlier this week, a BBC spokesperson said: "This is typical of ITV, parking their tanks on our lawn just as we launch a major new format.

"They are smarting because they didn't get the show although they bid £10 million more than us."
