Everybody’s talking about: #TheVoice
The BBC has apologised to The Voice judge and all round legend Tom Jones for firing him out of nowhere. Earlier this month, Jones said he was told “with no consultation of any kind” that he would be replaced on the panel by Boy George.
Now BBC’s director of television Danny Cohen has said he’s “sorry [Tom] is upset”:
I think he’s a gentleman, I think he’s an extraordinary figure in music and you’ll have seen the huge respect that all the artists have had for him on The Voice throughout.
