Coaches and presenters

On 26 September 2019, it was confirmed that will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Olly Murs would return to the show as coaches for their ninth, eighth and third series, respectively.[1] They are joined by new coach Meghan Trainor, an American Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter, who replaces former coach Jennifer Hudson. Hudson opted not to return for her fourth series due to filming commitments in the US, which prevented her from returning.[1] Trainor expressed her excitement at joining the coaching team and commented, "It's a dream come true and I can't wait to sit in the chair with my own button and listen to some incredible new talent!"[2] Alongside the coaches, the return of presenter Emma Willis was announced; she was excited by Trainor's casting.[2]

Trainor later spoke about joining the coaching panel, admitting that she found it "intimidating" and felt "insecure" about what the contestants would think about her, believing she was not as well established in comparison to the rest of the panel.[3] She added that she was nervous about replacing Hudson and asked her for advice on how to approach the show.[3] will.i.am thought it was hard for Trainor to settle into the position because Hudson was well loved on the show, but believed that Trainor would be liked by the audience too.[3] Murs agreed and described Trainor as "a very powerful woman, she's got this great energy about her, she's fun."[3]

Development

Filming for this series commenced on 14 October 2019 at Dock 10 studios with the taping of the blind auditions.[4]

A promotional trailer for the series was released on 6 December 2019, featuring the coaching panel.[5] The series premiered on ITV on 4 January 2020 in the 20:30 timeslot.[3]

On 18 March, it was announced by ITV that the live semi-final which was scheduled for Saturday 28 March, would be postponed until later in the year due to the coronavirus pandemic.[6]
