What did the other judges say?
More of Mel’s new judging pals chipped in.
Danny said: ”It’s great to be getting going on another series of The Voice Kids and I’m chuffed to have Melanie C joining the gang.
“Every year when I think the talent can’t be topped I find myself blown away by the new up and coming kids.

“I’m looking forward to discovering some brand new little superstars, it’s also a mission of mine to catch up with Pixie’s winning streak.”
Elsewhere, Pixie said: “I am the biggest Spice Girls fan, they were the first concert I ever went to, so it’s such a thrill to have Melanie C joining the show too, upping the level of girl power even more!”
