McFly's Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher quit The Voice UK

Published 2 July 2026

Two members of the pop band McFly have reportedly left their roles as coaches on ITV's "The Voice UK" ahead of the show's upcoming fifteenth season. Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher, who joined the judging panel in 2024 as the program's first-ever coaching pair, will not return due to scheduling conflicts, according to multiple reports.

The duo filmed two series during their tenure. Their final episodes, part of the yet-to-air fourteenth season, were completed some time ago and will feature them alongside fellow coaches will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones, and new addition Kelly Rowland, who replaces LeAnn Rimes. Production on the fifteenth season is scheduled to begin this autumn, but the McFly stars will not be part of it.

A source familiar with the situation stated that while Jones and Fletcher enjoyed their time on the show, committing to another full series proved impossible. The source cited Fletcher's work shuttling between London and New York to transfer "Paddington The Musical" to Broadway, as well as the pair's ongoing efforts to write McFly's eighth studio album, as primary reasons for their departure. ITV has declined to comment on the reports.
