The BBC Has Denied That It Is Axing The Voice

The BBC has denied rumours that they are axing The Voice, which launched in 2012. A spokesperson reportedly said: “It is incorrect to say the BBC has axed The Voice and we are in negotiations about its future.” Speculation was rife that the show was going to come to an end on the BBC due to governmental cutbacks and a bid from rival broadcaster ITV.

The news comes only a matter of months after the new judging line-up was revealed - will.i.am, Ricky Wilson, Boy George and Paloma Faith. The new line-up (image: BBC).
