ITV HAS scrapped a massive part of The Voice auditions in a huge show shake-up – and has replaced it with a new “lockdown” twist.
It comes as the show gets ready to film next year’s series with a new line-up of judges after Tom Jones, 86, was axed.

As well as the new faces on the judging panel, fans will be faced with a new auditions twist.
The new Lockdown Button is being introduced, and comes into play whenever an act receives a four-chair turn.
Coaches then get the power to push the new button so that they can automatically secure that act for their team.
This latest feature on The Voice means that the judges no longer pitch for their act, which would in turn see the singer then choose which team they wanted to join.
