The Voice and The Voice Kids have been picked up by ITV, it's been revealed, after news earlier this year that the talent show would be leaving the BBC.
A three-year deal has been struck with Talpa Global for The Voice, together with a three season commitment for ITV2 spin-off show and a two series contract for The Voice Kids.

Currently watched on every continent, the show attracts more than 300 million viewers and has a huge social media following.
Director of Television at ITV, Peter Fincham said: "ITV is the natural home of big entertainment so we are thrilled that The Voice and The Voice Kids are both joining our family alongside brilliant shows like The X Factor, Britain's Got Talent, Saturday Night Takeaway and I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here."
Elaine Bedell, ITV Director of Entertainment and Comedy added: "From the compelling blind auditions, through to the nail biting battle rounds, knockouts and live shows, The Voice has become a worldwide sensation and we are very much looking forward to its arrival on ITV in 2017."
Talpa founder and creator of The Voice, John de Mol adds: "We are delighted that The Voice has found a new home at ITV. With the addition of The Voice Kids we are excited about working with ITV in 2017 to develop and expand The Voice experience for the UK audience after completing what we think will be a fantastic upcoming season on the BBC, who have been a great partner."
The Voice and The Voice Kids will come to ITV in 2017.
