The Voice Kids is back for 2023 with a brand new line up of talented youngsters and fans want to know where it's filmed, how to watch and who are the judges?
If you're gutted that Britain's Got Talent is over for another year, fear not, as The Voice Kids - the 'little sister' show of The Voice - has made a welcomed return to screens with Emma Willis presenting.
A fresh group of child stars aged seven to 14 perform in front of the famous red chairs in a bid to showcase their vocal skills as they battle it out in the hope that they will impress the judges and make it through to the final.
We look at all you need to know about the new season...
Where is The Voice Kids filmed?
The Voice Kids is filmed at Elstree Studios, which is in Borehamwood - 20 minutes out of London - and has been filmed there from 2022 until present. Previously the show was filmed from Dock 10 at Media City UK in Manchester from 2017 until 2021.
The Voice Kids airs on Saturday night, from 7.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX. In its seventh year, the season will run for three episodes. The first aired on July 1st, with the second episode to air tomorrow (July 7th) and the third on July 15th.
Voice Kids judges
There are four judges on The Voice Kids and these are Ronan Keating, Will.i.am, Danny Jones and Pixie Lott. The show was filmed months before Pixie Lott revealed she is pregnant with her first baby.
In an interview with Whattowatch.com, Will.i.am said, "I won't give too much away but church is in my squad this year. I had soul, gospel, rap, and even musical theatre going on."
Meanwhile, Danny Jones teased, "Team Danny is like a mini supergroup. You've got a pop princess, some soul, a big rock singer, and a busker. I'm very proud of my team. I loved all four of them, so this year is probably one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make..."

Coaches. In early 2016, along with the announcement that The Voice UK would move to ITV for three years, it was announced that The Voice Kids had been ordered for two series. The winner will receive £30,000 and a family trip to Disneyland Paris. Unlike the adult version, there will be no knockouts rounds.
The Voice Kids has crowned its winner for the seventh series, with Andrea and Shanice Nyandoro coming out on top in the public vote. The "Wonder Twins", as dubbed by coach will.i.am, triumphed in Saturday's (July 15) grand final, prevailing over Will Edgar, Niamh Noade and Hayla-Essen Danns in the final four.
Who are this year's coaches? Will.i.am, Pixie Lott, Danny Jones and Ronan Keating are back for season seven. The Voice veteran and rapper Will.i.am has been a coach since the show began in 2012. Meanwhile singer Pixie will be hoping for another victory, after her mentee, 14-year-old Israella, won the show last year.
The clue is in the name: it's The Voice, but with the contestants aged between eight and 14. These are the blind auditions and your judges are former Spice Girl Mel B, homegrown songstress Delta Goodrem and both the Madden brothers – Joel and Benji – from Good Charlotte (who are judging together).
ITV offered households in the UK, Isle of Man and Channel Islands the chance to participate in The Voice Kids Series 4 Final (“Final”) vote through a request to participate which was published on ITV's website.
The two winning stars, who are 11-years-old, bagged a special family holiday to Universal Orlando Resort in Florida as their prize. Fans of the ITV singing competition were disappointed, however, that the show was over so fast as the format of the series included just three live rounds.
The judges for the children's version of the show are Pixie Lott, Ronan Keating, Danny Jones from McFly and Will.i.am, who is also known for being a coach on the grown up edition. They have been sat in the show's famous red chairs, while Emma Willis has been on hosting duty.
The coaching panel consists of John Legend and Reba McEntire, who return for their ninth and second seasons, respectively; returning coach Chance the Rapper, who returns for his second season following a one-season hiatus; and debuting coaches Dan + Shay, who join the panel as the show's first coaching duo.
