The Voice Kids (British TV series)

The Voice Kids is a British singing competition television series. Created by John de Mol Jr., it premiered on ITV during the summer television cycle on 10 June 2017. Based on the original The Voice of Holland, and part of The Voice franchise, it aired seven series and aimed to feature young aspiring singers aged 7 to 14. The winners received a monetary prize and a family holiday.

The winners of the seven series were: Jess Folley, Daniel Davies, Sam Wilkinson, Justine Afante, Torrin Cuthill, Israella Chris and Shanice & Andrea Nyandoro.

The series employed a panel of coaches who critiqued the artists' performances and guided their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the series. They also competed to ensure that their act won the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The original panel's coaches, will.i.am, Danny Jones, and Pixie Lott, each guided a champion at least once. Pixie was the victorious mentor four times, while Melanie C also had a member of her team triumph at the show. Three other panel coaches were Jessie J, Paloma Faith, and Ronan Keating.

The show was shortened from eight to three episodes since 2021. On 29 July 2023, it was announced that the show would be on hiatus to make room for another spin-off, putting the children's format in jeopardy.

In early 2016, along with the announcement that The Voice UK would move to ITV under a three-year deal, it was announced that the network had ordered The Voice Kids, a junior spinoff featuring younger aspiring singers, for two series. After attaining high ratings, it was announced that the network had renewed The Voice Kids for three series. In 2021, the battles & the semi-final were axed.

In August 2022 it was announced that The Voice UK and The Voice Kids would return in 2023 on ITV. The seventh series aired in summer 2023, following the same format as the previous seasons.

The open auditions application for the first series closed on 2 September 2016, with the age limit being 7–14 years old. The show began staging producers' audition days in August 2016 across the United Kingdom, with the blind auditions beginning filming in December 2016. For season 5, filming began in February 2021.

There were four phases to the competition:
