To bring you this Tom Jones tea?!

ITV sacked him from The Voice, then decided to reframe it as; hes some kind of super coach

Only they arent paying him properly

ITV is notably having money problems, we know that from them axing their studio audiences for shows like Loose Women and Big Brother

How amazing that we've still got celebs who can do this, without being 'media trained' aka dull

😬

(If you dont like celeb goss, thats fine, please do not bully me for your lack of sparkle and joy)

It seems that The Voice producers are quick to change the coaching line up. It’s not a programme I’ve watched much, but I think Will I am is the only original coach now. They got rid of Olly Murs and I read that Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones are out too.

Tom and Danny are out already wow - I reckon theyre trying to get the celebs as cheaply as possible without losing William

You're 86, Tommo. Give someone else a turn.

Well they were getting 2 for 1 so they should have kept them really 😊

Bugger OP...I imagined some collaboration with Tetley

Edited

Same.
I was excited.
On another note (😁) Sir Tom’s voice is still incredible at 86. Amazing.

Vile man, who refused to have anything to do with his Son. Delinquent Father, Delinquent Husband.

And I was thinking it was was some ‘experience’ based on the R rated book😃

hotmumshit · Today 14:04

So the mcfly guys replaced by aitch who must be cheaper 🤷‍♀️

Plus he will bring in the younger audience. Expect a stint from Ginge (they were both on i'm a celeb)

I dont actually watch the voice, but tom jones going is quite sad I guess, old as he is

I would be more interested in watching for Cheryl Cole though, who is apparently replacing him

Theyre also apparently bringing back The X Factor! The thing is, things have moved on (I say knowing I'll have a look)

I thought we were getting some gossip on Tom Jones. The ‘tea’ is actually ITV, not TJ. He did nothing wrong.

Sidebeforeself · Today 14:10

Well he’s not short of a bob or two so I cant really get too upset about it. Plus he’s an annoying arse.

This in spades. Also me thim and he was creepy.

He was an awful husband to his wife. It is well documented he had hundreds of affairs and his wife wasn’t coping with that (not surprised).
If his wife had written on here it definitely would have been a unanimous LTB.

Plenty of stuff on the Internet about this “father of the year”

He specifically states it's about the insurance. He's 86, he's probably uninsurable now, and that also might be off the back of a health check. A show that big has to have solid insurance because if filming goes to a standstill last minute because someone carks it, that can cause huge unexpected costs to pay everyone not to work and then extend filming schedules.

I read she felt she couldn't divorce him because of her Catholic faith, so she was trapped...

In 1987, Sir Tom had a fling with aspiring model Katherine Berkery, 24, after the pair met in a nightclub in New York. After falling pregnant, he refused to have any part in the child's upbringing and wouldn't acknowledge he was his son until a bitter legal battle proved he in fact was.

EWW - he wouldve been late 40s

The more you know eh

Been very sexually promiscuous througout his career with huge numbers of fans. He got away with it 10 years ago as people shrugged it off as 'tom will be tom'. But with more pressure not to have the Philip Schofields, Greg Wallace's etc being tolerated so well, I suspect they know something will come out.

He has a jovial persona but he's not a nice man. He had a son he refused to acknowledge or support until court ordered.

Not against the law though. Morally maybe

But as long as consenting adults, its noone else's business

Yep couldn’t keep it in his trousers but I believe they met when they were both very young tho I’m guessing the lifestyle helped which kept her there. They lived in separate countries I think.
