The Voice Kids was a British singing competition television series. Created by John de Mol, it premiered on ITV during the summer television cycle on 10 June 2017.[1] Based on the original The Voice of Holland, and part of The Voice franchise, it aired seven series and aimed to feature young aspiring singers aged 7 to 14. The winners received a monetary prize and a family holiday.
The winners of the seven series were: Jess Folley, Daniel Davies, Sam Wilkinson, Justine Afante, Torrin Cuthill, Israella Chris and Shanice & Andrea Nyandoro.
The series employed a panel of coaches who critiqued the artists' performances and guided their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the series. They also competed to ensure that their act won the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The original panel's coaches, will.i.am, Danny Jones, and Pixie Lott, each guided a champion at least once. Pixie was the victorious mentor four times, while Melanie C also had a member of her team triumph at the show. Three other panel coaches were Jessie J, Paloma Faith, and Ronan Keating.
The show was shortened from eight to three episodes since 2021. On 29 July 2023, it was announced that the show would be on hiatus to make room for another spin-off, putting the children's format in jeopardy.[2][3]
