On 22 March 2014, Kylie Minogue confirmed that she would not be returning for another series, however when asked if she would return if filming dates were moved she said "I would have to think about it really seriously as I did for this series".[3] Two days later, the BBC confirmed that she was not quitting the show.[4] However, on 11 April 2014, Minogue tweeted that she would not be returning[5] and on 23 September, it was announced that Rita Ora would join returning coaches will.i.am, Tom Jones and Ricky Wilson.
Emma Willis and Marvin Humes returned as co-presenters.
Promotion
Promotional photos were released on 18 December 2014, including photos of: the coaches (Wilson, Jones, Ora & will.i.am); the presenters (Willis & Humes); and singular shots of each coach.[6]
On 20 December 2014, the first trailer for the series premiered following the final of Strictly Come Dancing at 19:55. The trailer features the four coaches sitting at a bar, when a crow singing behind them catches their attention. They begin to sing along with the crow until a waiter brings over a cooked chicken that they have ordered. Despite thinking the crow would be annoyed, he continues to sing with the group then joining in.[7]
