Emma Willis has been announced as the sole presenter of 'The Voice' 2017, following its move to ITV. 

However, it is bad news for her co-host Marvin Humes, who has failed to survive the talent show's departure from the BBC.

Emma has been at the helm of 'The Voice' since she and Marvin took over from Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates in 2014, and said she was "delighted" to be asked to return. 

She said in a statement: “'The Voice UK' is very close to my heart and I’m absolutely delighted to be back on the show. Roll on the blind auditions!”

Marvin also told HuffPost UK of his departure: "I’ve loved every minute of working on 'The Voice' for the past three series and will miss working with Emma and the team.

"It’s one of the best shows on TV and I'll definitely be tuning in to see the new series.

"I wish the new team the best of luck and look forward to working more with ITV in the near future"

It is currently unclear who will be on the coaching line-up when the show launches on ITV in January. 

Will.i.am, Ricky Wilson, Paloma Faith and Boy George all served as coaches on the most recent series, which concluded on BBC One in April. 

However, Paloma and George have both hinted that they will not be back for their second series, while Ricky previously claimed he would not make the jump to ITV, but has since backtracked on his decision. 

Recent reports linked Sir Paul McCartney to a role, while another claimed bosses were eyeing up former judges Kylie Minogue and Sir Tom Jones to return alongside Black Eyed Peas frontman Will, alongside new coach Jennifer Hudson. 

The nationwide search to find a unique singing talent is now underway, with producers’ auditions visiting six cities across the UK this Summer. 

Undiscovered singers who want their voice to be heard are invited to apply to audition at www.itv.com/thevoiceuk.

'The Voice' UK: Where Are They Now?

It wasn't until the third series of The X Factor that it found its first international star in winner Leona Lewis. With Jermain Jackman's much-anticipated debut album due for release in March, time will tell if he can be The Voice's first ever break-out star... (credit:Dave J Hogan via Getty Images)
Leanne Mitchell(02 of12)

Sadly, the show's first ever winner found herself dropped last year, after releasing just one album. Leanne has since blamed the fact her label waited too long after her victory on 'The Voice' in releasing the album for its lack of commercial success, claiming she's happy she didn't "cop out" and release a covers album.

Tyler James(03 of12)

Tyler "I Was Best Friends With Amy Winehouse" James (she's mentioned six times on his Wikipedia page alone) was a fan-favourite during the first series of 'The Voice', famously performing a duet with will.i.am dangling from the ceiling.Sadly this didn't translate to a fruitful music career and his last offering in 2012 stalled at number 47 in the UK album chart.

Bo Bruce(04 of12)

Despite having the most commercial success of any of the former 'Voice' stars, Bo hasn't exactly had an easy time since leaving the competition, quitting her record label after two singles due to a "lack of support" and eventually checking into rehab for exhaustion.She's since branded former coach Danny O'Donaghue a "wanker" after admitting that they shared a snog while she was still being mentored by him on the show.Bo collaborated with top DJ Chicane on a dance track last year.

Had the people who voted on 'The X Factor' also voted on 'The Voice', Vince would probably have won, and could potentially be one of the biggest faces on the music scene, even three years later.Sadly, this was not the case, and Leanne took the crown while Vince came in fourth place (potentially down to the fact he performed one of Jessie J's lesser-known songs as his 'coaches duet').That said, Vince is still making music, and last year co-wrote and provided vocals for the Alpines' track 'Zero'.

One of the most unanimously-praised 'Voice' contestants ever, kooky and talented Leah is due to release her debut album 'Weird To Wonderful' later this year.She's been in the studio with former mentor, will.i.am, collaborating with him on the track, 'Home'. (credit:Neil Lupin via Getty Images)

Andrea famously caused will.i.am to storm off set when she was announced as winner in 2013, over his act, Leah McFall.Since taking her place on the 'Voice' throne, Andrea has hit the UK top ten with an album of covers, 'The Message'.Last year, she also completed her Masters degree in Law and Governance... which would appear to suggest we won't be hearing a follow-up album for the time being.

Sally may not have been the winner of 'The Voice' last year, but she still managed to thrash eventual-champion Jermain Jackman in terms of single sales, charting 15 places higher than him the week after the show ended.Following her success on the show, Sally completed a UK tour at the tail-end of 2014.
