All four coaches on The Voice face the axe after failing 'to connect' with viewers


Time for a revamp already? All four coaches on The Voice face the axe after failing 'to connect' with viewers

    They may have contributed to winning the ratings war several weeks in a row, but all four mentors on The Voice are at risk of being sacked.
Jessie J, will.i.am, Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue are allegedly at risk once the show finishes tomorrow night.
It is believed that BBC bosses have no choice but to do so after the first UK series of the talent show lost nearly seven million viewers.

According to the Daily Mirror, the famous four have 'failed to connect' with the audience and therefore the second series will need a revamp.
'We’ve already paid £22million for two years so there is no ­question of it being axed,' said a BBC source.
'But it seems unlikely any of the current coaches will be back. The viewers haven’t connected strongly enough with them.

'The show got off to a fantastic start, but the fans got bored of the same ultra-positive and unbelievably nice comments every week, and viewing figures tumbled.'
It seems that viewers prefer to watch something less optimistic and this week spoke up about the mentors and their nice ways.
'Tom always says the same thing, it’s always about how he met Elvis or some other star, and he’s never critical even when the act is rubbish, which seems false,' one viewer wrote online.

Other fans branded the foursome 'boring' and 'predictable' so it is unsure just how many will tune in to tomorrow's final.
But it's not just Tom that the British public have hit out at, as Danny as also been accused of being boring, with one viewer saying: 'He always just agrees with Will.'
Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am was accused of neglecting his acts after her flew back to the U.S. several times and Jessie J was apparently called 'a diva' by staff who found it hard to get near her.

BBC bosses are said to be setting their sights on huge stars such as Cheryl Cole and Adele.
Cheryl has already been a part of the show after she performed her latest single on it last week. 
The Girls Aloud singer has also been giving advice to and supporting finalist Tyler James.
