After weeks of speculation, Kylie Minogue has confirmed that she will not be returning to do another series of The Voice.
The star first raised speculation about her future on the show when she told the Mirror that the dates of her tour may clash with the filming of the next episode.
She said: "I'm touring this year and the timings wouldn't work. We started filming in November last year for the show and this year I'm on tour in September, October and November. Being on the show is a huge commitment."
"I have loved it although there have been parts which have been really difficult, too taxing and emotional. You can't second guess yourself. You deal with a lot of decisions and emotions", she went on to explain.

Despite this, the BBC announced that they would try to do all they could to accommodate the Spinning Around hitmaker. A BBC statement obtained by Digital Spy read:
"Kylie is a fantastic addition to the coaching lineup. We are aware of Kylie's touring commitments and are looking to accommodate them, so that if the series is recommissioned, she could return to her coaching role.
"Discussions are still ongoing and it's too early to speculate, as we've not finished this series yet."
But, alas, it was never to be as Kylie announced the news on her Twitter account that she wouldn't be returning to the show for a second series.
She wrote: "#Lovers, due to timing of my tour I won't be back next season for The Voice UK😢 Thanks to all who supported! Hope to see you on my KMO tour!"
