Girls Aloud singer Cheryl was today snapped making a low-key entrance at studios in Manchester.
The Call My Name hitmaker cut a casual figure in an oversized plaid shirt as she hurried inside, apparently keen not to be spotted.
Cheryl is part of a huge shake-up on the judging panel and she’ll join returning mentors Kelly Rowland and will.i.am with rapper Aitch.
Stacey Solomon and Alesha Dixon will also take over from Emma Willis to present the show.

The big changes saw Sir Tom Jones, who has been part of The Voice since it launched in 2012, axed from the panel – a move that caused him to hit out on social media.
He wrote: “To be clear, I did not want to leave The Voice as I love the show and really appreciate the audience,” Sir Tom wrote in a statement posted on his social media accounts.
“ITV made this decision – obviously a while ago, and I was just told recently.
“The reason given is because of a financial difficulty with insurance. They now say in the press they wanted to ‘refresh’ the show, and with a new coaching line-up there wouldn’t be a chair for me.”
