The Voice UK is a British television music competition to find new singing talent. The third series began airing on 11 January 2014 on BBC One, as opposed to the usual start in March. will.i.am and Tom Jones returned as coaches, while Kylie Minogue and Ricky Wilson joined the show as replacements for former coaches, Jessie J and Danny O'Donoghue. Emma Willis and Marvin Humes co-presented the show for the first time, replacing Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates.
On 9 February 2014, it was announced that a new spin off show called The Voice: Louder on Two would air every weekday during the live shows on BBC Two hosted by Zoë Ball.
Jermain Jackman of Team Will was crowned as the winner of the series on 5 April 2014, making him the first male artist to win the show. Also, Jackman is the first winner in the show's history (before Ruti Olajugbagbe in the seventh series, Blessing Chitapa in the ninth series and Craig Eddie in the tenth series) to have only received one-chair turn in the blind auditions.
This series was the only series to feature Minogue as a coach.
On 5 July 2013, Jessie J announced that she would not be returning as a coach for the third series due to touring commitments in support for her second album, Alive. On 16 July, it was announced that Danny O'Donoghue would not be returning either as he wanted to concentrate on The Script. People rumoured to be in the running to join the panel as replacements for Jessie J and O'Donoghue included Rita Ora, Emeli Sande, Kylie Minogue, Marvin Humes, Melanie C and Cheryl Cole, though Cole was ruled out of the running after rejoining rival show, The X Factor. On 11 September, it was confirmed that Minogue would become a coach for the third series, along with the confirmation of returning coaches will.i.am and Tom Jones. On 15 September, Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates announced that they would not be returning to co-present the third series, and Emma Willis was announced as Willoughby's replacement. On 17 September, Humes confirmed that he would replace Yates as Willis' co-presenter. On 19 September, Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson confirmed that he would be a coach and O'Donoghue's replacement for the third series. On 9 February 2014, it was announced that Zoë Ball would present spin-off show The Voice: Louder on Two. The show was axed after the series.
On 21 December 2013, the first trailer for the series premiered following the final of Strictly Come Dancing at 21:50. The trailer features all four coaches dressed in different medical costumes. They overlook a hospital ward, as many babies cry behind them. Then, the sound of a beautiful voice is heard from the direction of the babies, and stops all the crying. The voice captures the attention of Minogue and Wilson, who both turn around to see who is singing. will.i.am and Jones then turn, as the voice is revealed to be one of the babies, prompting the tagline "A Star is Born". On 1 January 2014, a new edition of the trailer aired, where another baby sings, in a more R&B style, also impressing the coaches.
As part of BBC One's promotion of its 2014 schedule, The Voice UK aired the first clips of the Blind Auditions, featuring a male artist walking to the microphone, a mother being reunited with her daughter following her performance, Emma Willis with a family watching a performance, the coaches' opening performance, and Minogue opening the trailer saying "This waiting, it's killer. And the anticipation", and she also tells an artist (unknown to the viewer) that they have "done the thing which is the thing that we [coaches] are waiting for."
On 6 January 2014, the series had its press launch at Broadcasting House. All four coaches were present, as were the two new presenters. The coaches spoke to members of the press, and in the week leading up to the premiere, the show was highly publicised by the British media, with coaches giving interviews in the Radio Times, The Metro, Digital Spy and The Telegraph. Later that day, will.i.am and Kylie Minogue appeared on the new-look One Show, where they talked about the show and last year's finalist, Leah McFall.
