Taken from the BBC Media Centre Website

Music legend Tom Jones and The Script frontman Danny O'Donoghue have been confirmed as coaches on BBC One’s The Voice UK. They claim the two remaining places and join Jessie J and will.i.am to complete the stellar coach line-up.

I love The Script! Danny is very yummy, too.

I like that line up bar will.bloody.i.am... couldn't we have had a female or Will Young instead of him to equal the panel up...

What an excellent line-up, the majority of people wont agree with will.i.am being chosen, but he has enough experience. I also like how it is similar to the US version in only having one female judge. It will stop the whole fake female judge wars and pointless comparisons.

What happened to Will Young? Can't he replace will.i.am?

Shame no Will

None of the judges excite me in any way - The Script are dull, Jessie J (barring Price Tag) dont see the hype, Will I Am - Will I Who? (boring) and Tom Jones - whoopy :snooze:

Just out of curiosity, who would you prefer?

I hope the chemistry between the judges is good because that's partly why I loved the US show, their chemistry was amazing!

Sir Tom is a great choice. He mentored a week of Canadian Idol a few years back and was excellent. will.i.am was heavily involved in the backstage mentoring of last year's American Idol contestants- generally regarded as the highest yet for overall Top 12 talent.

Can't wait for this show to start (and I'm glad we have 4 genres represented, near enough)

Looking forward to The Voice so I can abandon the festering trash that X Factor has become.

To be fair to will.i.am, he is a Grammy award winning songwriter and producer, and also a vocalist with one of the biggest and most influential groups of the 21st Century (although I personally don't like them myself).

I think our panel is actually more impressive than the US one- as we have a bona fide legend sittng on ours, in the shape of Sir Tom.

OMG!!! I love this panel!! even if you don't like a coach you can't knock the panels credibility!!!! I'm so glad it's not Will Young because I don't he has much appeal for younger audiences! where as everyone will like Danny and he's fresh and a proper musician!! and Tom is a legend!!!

Sooo Excited!!

Thats a good question actually - personally I dont know - all I do know is that the 4 judges do nothing for me in any way really - obviously thats pre watching.

The chemistry between them as you say could be amazing and it could work; but on paper I'm not excited.

I would say the judging line-ups of both shows are pretty equal

Jessie J > Tulisa
Bloke from Script < Gary Barlow
Tom Jones > Louis Walsh
Will.I.Am < Kelly Rowland

I'm basing that on pre-X-factor starting (i.e forgetting how good they've been so far) on how big a name they are.

It's more like

Jessie J/Christina
Danny/Adam
Will.I.Am/Cee Lo
Tom/Blake

It's relevant to the X Factor because it's going to help kill it.

even though some people will be like "danny is boring" or "he's not relevant" or whatever I guarantee he will become a hit with viewers! and people know who the script are and there music! they even sang with kelly rowland lol! but i mean it was like who the hell would have thought Tulisa to be a judge on xf but people like her now!! Danny will be a hit with all audiences young, middle aged and older!

All in all, a very good line up. I'm very happy with that.

I know if I was a contestant, I'd be happy with Jessie J, Tom Jones or Danny O'Donaghue. I wouldn't even be too devastated being stuck with Will.I.Am.

I can't wait for the show to start now.
