With two new coaches, two new hosts and some exciting changes to the show's format, The Voice UK is back tonight, bigger and better than ever before.

New presenting duo Emma Willis and Marvin Humes have teamed up to take the helm and bring all the action to the viewers in what promises to be a brilliant reinvention of the franchise.

As ever, we'll be shown the blind rounds first, but with more versatility on the coaching panel than ever before, who will contestants choose when more than one mentor turns their chair, hoping to snag the singer behind them?

Each coach will be creating a team of 12 artists, meaning that a massive 48 will go on to the battle rounds in the second stage of the competition.

From there, the contenders will be cut in half and go through to stage three - The Knockouts - where another split down the middle will occur before the final 12 go on to live finals.
