The Voice UK (STV, 8pm)
THE singing competition has changed presenters, coaching line-ups and even channels, but it’s kept those infamous spinning chairs — and with good reason. For many viewers, the most interesting stage of the contest is the early blind auditions, when the coaches keep their backs to the would-be pop stars so they can’t be swayed by the performer’s image, only turning around if they like what they hear. But who will be good enough to get will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson, Olly Murs and Tom Jones spinning around this week? And which of the coaches will prove most persuasive when it comes to getting the performers to join their team?
