The Voice 2025 coaches line-up leaked
The Voice Australia appears set to have a major cast shake up, following Guy Sebastian's shock departure from the show after six years.
An insider told Yahoo Lifestyle that current coaches Kate Miller-Heidke and Adam Lambert are also saying goodbye to the show.
Channel Seven is said to be in the final stages of locking their new line-up, which includes former fan favourites like Keith Urban.
“The line-up that Channel Seven wants is Keith Urban, Jessica Mauboy, Ronan Keating and LeAnn Rimes,” the source told Yahoo Lifestyle.
“They’ve all been on the show before and conversations had started a few months back.”
Urban last appeared on the singing competition as coach in 2022, and fans were overjoyed when he appeared as a guest earlier this year.
"Keith was asked about returning when he recorded a performance for the grand finale and he sounded open to the idea - as long as it works with his wife Nicole Kidman's plans to be back in Australia at the same time," the insider said.
The source also said that US singer Rimes is likely to return as well.
"In the lead-up to this year’s finale, LeAnn's management kept talking about the next series and what she plans to do differently," they said.
“LeAnn was clear about her ambition to return next year and Channel Seven are keen to have her back after her artist won.”
Jessica Mauboy, who was coach for the show from 2021 to 2023, left the series this year to focus on her music and go on tour, but Channel Seven are also keen to welcome her back.
“There were always plans to bring Jess back at some point and viewers really missed her contribution this season," the insider said.
“The conversation about Jess had been on the cards with or without Guy. It seemed the network was already looking at flipping Kate Miller-Heidke, who seemed a little out of place on the show."
As for Ronan Keating, who was last seen on the show in 2016, the source said he was keen to appear on the Australian version of the show again.
Channel Seven is expected to officially announce the 2025 lineup for The Voice Australia at their upcoming Upfront event this month.
“One thing is for sure The Voice Australia will go on without Guy Sebastian and 2025 looks set to have one of the best line-ups without him."
