The Voice Kids is back on ITV, with a new line-up of future popstars ready to sing their hearts out.
Four coaches will be taking to the famous red chairs in a bid to find the very best talent. Emma Willis returns as host, and there's no doubt she'll be seen comforting emotional parents backstage.
Young singers between the ages of seven and 14 will be battling their nerves in a bid to impress. Among those auditioning is 14-year-old Oscar Hartland, who played Neil the baby in Gavin and Stacey.

Here is all you need to know ahead of the new series.
The Voice Kids starts on Saturday, July 1 at 7.30pm. It will be broadcast on ITV1 from 7pm.
The series will feature three episodes, which run for an hour and a half each. They are scheduled to air on consecutive Saturdays.
Will.i.am, Pixie Lott, Danny Jones and Ronan Keating are back for season seven.
The Voice veteran and rapper Will.i.am has been a coach since the show began in 2012. Meanwhile singer Pixie will be hoping for another victory, after her mentee, 14-year-old Israella, won the show last year.
McFly's Danny, from Bolton, has been a coach since 2017, while Boyzone's Ronan joined the panel last year.
Blind auditions
The Voice Kids starts with the blind auditions. Contestants sing in front of the judges, who are set in the red chairs with their backs turned. If they like what they hear, coaches press a big white button and spin their chair around.
If more than one coach turns, the performer gets to chose whose team they join.
