If you get an audition for The Voice 2020, what happens next?

You won't meet coaches Olly, Tom, Jennifer and Will straight away unfortunately.

If you impress the scouts, you will then go to an initial audition.

You then go through three rounds before you even get to go before the coaches.

Once you are through to the blind auditions with the coaches, you must be picked by one of the judges.

If this happens you then fight your way through the battles, knockouts and live shows and you’ve won it… simple eh?

When does The Voice 2020 start on ITV?

The Voice UK 2020 is expected to launch in January next year.

An exact date is yet to be announced - and is unlikely to be confirmed until well after the current series finishes.

The 2019 series kicked off on Saturday January 5th at 8pm on ITV.

Next year, the show will probably start on or around the same date.
