Wilson was unveiled as the BBC talent show’s final signing this morning via Twitter, with The Voice UK’s official account tweeting “We have a new Chief, sorry Coach. It’s… Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs! @Rickontour, we salute you.”

Lead singer of the British indie band known for stadium-pleasing hits including I Predict a Riot and Ruby, Wilson comes in for departing The Script frontman O’Donoghue, who quit along with Jessie J after series two.

This year’s show is said to be a “last throw off the dice” by a BBC insider after both previous runs saw audiences dip after the initial rounds of the contest.
