Sir Tom Jones reveals he will team up with fellow The Voice star Will.i.am to record single together
Sex Bomb star Sir Tom admitted he will finally be working with the Black Eyed Peas hip-hop king
FOR the first time in its seven-year history The Voice could be about to generate a hit single.
I can reveal coaches SIR TOM JONES and WILL.I.AM are teaming up on a song together in one of pop’s most unlikely collaborations.
Sex Bomb star Sir Tom admitted he will finally be working with the BLACK EYED PEAS hip-hop king after years of persuasion and five series spinning together on The Voice’s big red chairs.
They are working on choosing the right track for them to release in the near future.
In an exclusive interview at The Prince’s Trust Awards, Sir Tom said: “I spend a lot of time with Will off screen, whenever I can.
"When I was living in Los Angeles I saw Will nearly all the time out there.
“He’s been asking me for ages when we can collaborate, and it is going to happen.
“It sounds like a great idea, we’re just working to get the right song, then we’re going to do it."
They will no doubt be the first from The Voice to crack the UK charts.
The talent show’s previous winners, including STEVIE McCRORIE and ANDREA BEGLEY, have disastrously failed to realise their music dreams.
Last year’s winner MO JAMIL’s single That Feeling, from his debut album, has already dropped out of the Top 200 on iTunes just a week after its release.
Meanwhile, Sir Tom also teased there could be a chance for him and KYLIE MINOGUE to team up — as the Australian star returns to The Voice this series to be a mentor to Sir Tom’s team.
He said: “I’ve known Kylie for a long time, she’s an old friend of mine.
"Not that she’s old, but we’re great friends.
“I remember when she first came to Britain — you know, and she did Neighbours in Australia.
“I’ve known her since she was young and she’s great.
"So to have her come back on the show as a mentor, to give ideas to my singers, I was thrilled.”
Maybe Sir Tom would be able to get her back on the show full-time.

No kard Kourtney?
ALL KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN took to little sister KHLOE’s baby shower was her daughter Penelope and a pink balloon.
Times must be hard.
Sisters KIM, KYLIE and KENDALL and mum KRIS also turned out for Khloe, at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The hotel’s ballroom was decorated with thousands of pink flowers for the occasion, where only pink drinks were served.
And topiary elephants and giraffes spruced up the main entrance.
I dread to think how over-the-top the birth will be.
Van's drag night delight
VANESSA FELTZ was in for a treat – as she was introduced to Bizarre’s very own drag queen Betty Bottom Dollar.
My reporter Benjy Potter channelled BARBRA STREISAND for gay Jewish club night Buttmitzvah but ended up looking more like Vanessa’s long-lost sister.
Radio 2 DJ Vanessa turned out at East London’s Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club to support fiance BEN OFOEDU, who performed live as one half of dance music duo PHATS & SMALL.
I hope he took the right girl home at the end of the night.

Daisy's flower power dress
DAISY RIDLEY lives up to her name in this outfit.
The actress wore a blazer adorned with her namesake flower at the premiere for Peter Rabbit in London’s Leicester Square yesterday.
She stars as Cotton-Tail in the first big screen adventure about the floppy-eared BEATRIX POTTER character, which is voiced by JAMES CORDEN.
He walked the red carpet at the event alongside TESS DALY, VERNON KAY and DOMHNALL GLEESON, ahead of the film’s release this Friday.
It was first announced in April 2015. Here’s hopping it’s worth the wait.
