Series 6

The Voice Kids is a British television music competition to find new singing talent. The seventh series began airing on 1 July 2023 on ITV1.[1][2] The series was confirmed by ITV in September 2022 when applications opened. They closed in November, prior to the airing of the previous series.[3][4][5] The programme aired in the summer slot for the first time since the fourth series and aired weekly again, instead of nightly.[6][7] will.i.am, Ronan Keating, Pixie Lott and Danny Jones all returned as coaches, making it the first time since the third series that all coaches from the previous series returned.[8][9]

The series was won by twins Shanice & Andrea Nyandoro, making them the first duo to win the show. Their victory also marks will.i.am's first win as a coach on the kids version of the show.[10][11][12] This also means that will.i.am has won at least one season in each version he's competed on, as he has won in both the adult series and The Voice Australia.
