Series 5

The Voice Kids is a British television music competition to find new singing talent. The fourth series began airing on 11 July 2020, being broadcast on a weekly basis on ITV. As with the previous three series, it is hosted by Emma Willis. Danny Jones, Pixie Lott and will.i.am will return as coaches, but Jessie J has been replaced by Paloma Faith, who was also previously a coach on the adult version of the show.[1]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the pre-recorded episodes - featuring the auditions, battle rounds and semi-final - were filmed a few weeks before the nationwide lockdown in March 2020. On 7 August 2020, it was announced that the final would be pre-recorded on 22 August 2020 and broadcast a week later on 29 August 2020, with a virtual audience with households invited to apply to watch the episode and vote for their winner.[2] Justine Afante won the competition and Pixie Lott was the winning coach, marking her third victory, becoming the only UK coach in any variation to win more than 2 seasons.
