The 86-year-old singer was in the red chair for the series finale, which also marked the last episodes for fellow coaches Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher of McFly.<\/p>\n<p>Jones\u2019s departure follows an ITV coaching-panel shake-up. The Sun reported in September that he would not return for the next series. Jones later told fans on Instagram that leaving had not been his choice, writing, \u201cI did not want to leave.\u201d He said ITV had made the decision earlier but informed him only recently.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/4dcfa4ce-e782-47d4-8e94-9a6097dcae74.jpg?w=960\" alt=\"Tom Jones sits in a red coach&#39;s chair on The Voice UK.\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\"><figcaption>Tom Jones sits in a red coach&#39;s chair on The Voice UK.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jones said the initial explanation he received involved financial difficulties with insurance. He also responded to the broadcaster\u2019s explanation that the programme needed a refresh, noting that a new coaching line-up meant there would be no place for him.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-Capture-2026-10-31-23-20-00.png\" alt=\"A group of people standing on a stage with a large glowing &quot;V&quot; in the background.\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\"><figcaption>A group of people standing on a stage with a large glowing &quot;V&quot; in the background.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>A changing panel<\/h2>\n<p>Cheryl and Aitch are set to join returning coaches will.i.am and Kelly Rowland for the upcoming series.

The publication cited a source who said ITV had hoped he might remain involved in some capacity. That reported proposal did not change the outcome: Jones will not be part of the next series.<\/p>\n<p>His exit drew messages of support from viewers on social media. Some expressed sadness that he would no longer coach on the programme, while others reflected on the finale as his last time in the red chair. The reactions came amid a farewell that was not the one Jones said he wanted.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-Capture-2026-10-31-23-20-22.png\" alt=\"Tom Jones, a woman in a gold dress, and Emma Willis speaking into a microphone on a stage.\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\"><figcaption>Tom Jones, a woman in a gold dress, and Emma Willis speaking into a microphone on a stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The final also gave Jones a celebratory moment alongside his contestant, Welsh singer Cate McHugh.
