Everyone is really excited.” The Sun has reached out to the show for comment. Emma joined The Voice in 2014 and has been a staple on the singing show, but is swapping spinning chairs for the dancefloor as one of the new Strictly Come Dancing hosts this year. Most read in TV She is yet to confirm whether she is fully stepping away from the show, but we revealed back in May how the Strictly gig marked the ‘final nail in the coffin’ for Emma’s time at The Voice. A source said at the time: “It will come as no surprise that whispers have already begun to emerge on both the future of Emma’s role on The Voice and the show itself. “Quietly, Emma has pretty much accepted her time on the show is over.” They continued to explain it feels like a ‘natural end’ for Emma, and said: “The truth is, she wasn’t even thinking about The Voice when it came to accepting the job on Strictly – she has been super open behind-the-scenes how it was her dream gig!” The Voice traditionally airs through autumn, meaning it would directly clash with Strictly Come Dancing. However, the show tends to be pre-recorded in the summer when it comes to the blind audition stages. Comment now
