It's official!

However, it seems not everyone is happy, and a number of Twitter users took to the social networking site to share their thoughts on the decision:

Not everyone was quite so negative though:

The confirmation isn’t exactly a total surprise, and the news came just hours after it was revealed that ‘The Voice’ bosses aren't too pleased with Rita, who’s reportedly signed a £1.5 million deal with their rival show.

The new panel will unite for the first round of auditions in Manchester, on 6 July.

It’s not just the panel which has undergone a shake-up this year, and presenter Dermot O’Leary has left the show, making way for Caroline Flack and Olly Murs, while it’s believed that audition stages will also be getting a makeover.
