Olly Murs sends support to Sir Tom Jones following Jones’s exit from ITV’s The Voice UK. The news comes after Jones is reported to have been axed from his long-running role as a coach on the programme.
Both outlets note that Murs previously worked alongside Jones on The Voice. Murs and Jones collaborate on the show between 2018 and 2023, when Murs appeared as part of the judging/coaching line-up. After Jones’s departure is announced, Murs publicly offers support to the music legend.
The coverage differs mainly in framing. The Manchester Evening News focuses on Murs’s supportive message after Jones’s exit, while The Mirror highlights Murs’s reaction to Jones being “axed” from the ITV show. Neither outlet provides additional details in the provided excerpts about the reasons for the decision or what the next steps are for either artist.
