Kaiser Chief Ricky Wilson to join BBC’s ‘The Voice’

Following the recent announcement of Jessie J’s coaching replacement by Kylie Minogue, comes the news that Ricky Wilson, frontman of British indie band Kaiser Chiefs, is to replace The Script’s Danny O’Donoghue on BBC’s The Voice talent competition.

Speaking of the recent announcement, Wilson said: “Who doesn’t want to spend their Saturday night with Kylie Minogue? I spent last winter yelling at ‘The Voice’, and both Sir Tom Jones and Will.i.am were total superstars. I’m just lucky the Kaiser Chiefs have rubber stamped my temporary loan”.

The introduction of Wilson adds to a shake-up of the program, with Big Brother’s Emma Willis and JLS’ Marvin Humes taking over hosting duties from Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates for the third season of the popular show.
