Alesha Dixon and Stacey Solomon are to host The Voice UK as part of a revamp of the show announced by ITV.
The pair replace Emma Willis, who has presented the singing contest since 2014 but recently left to front the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
ITV also confirmed earlier reports that singer Cheryl and rapper Aitch will join the The Voice as coaches, sitting in the show's famous giant red chairs.
It comes after Sir Tom Jones said earlier this week that he had been removed from the series despite wanting to stay, over an insurance issue.
