He joins The Script frontman Danny O'Donoghue, singer Jessie J and Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am.

Danny is a rising star who will bring freshness and surprise to the team. Overall, our line-up of Tom Jones, Jessie J, will.i.am and Danny O'Donoghue gives us mega-star quality, great musical range and musicians we know our audience love."

The show, which started life as a hit in the Netherlands, then crossed to America with huge success, will be presented by Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates.
