Coaches

In early 2016, along with the announcement that The Voice UK would move to ITV for three years, it was announced that The Voice Kids had been ordered for two series. [1] The winner will receive £30,000 and a family trip to Disneyland Paris. [2] Unlike the adult version, there will be no knockouts rounds. When it was previously reported that the adult version's sixth series would feature five live shows (which turned out to be the usual three), reports claimed that there would be three live shows; there will only be one.
