The Voice Judges Odds 2026: Cheryl Favourite To Replace Sir Tom Jones

Cheryl is the clear frontrunner to replace Sir Tom Jones as a judge on The Voice UK, according to William Hill.

The former Girls Aloud singer is priced at 1/4 in William Hill’s betting market to fill the vacant judging seat, with Bleeding Love singer Leona Lewis her closest rival at 10/1.

Other names among the rumoured candidates include Dermot O’Leary and Nick Grimshaw, both priced at 16/1, while Stephen Mulhern and Alison Hammond are each available at 25/1.

Odds For Next Judge On The Voice UK:

• Cheryl – 1/4
• Leonna Lewis – 10/1
• Dermot O’Leary – 16/1
• Nick Grimshaw – 16/1
• Stephen Mulhern – 25/1
• Allisson Hammond – 25/1
• BAR – 33/1

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Cheryl has been the standout name in the betting since talk of Sir Tom Jones’ replacement first started, and at 1/4 we can’t see anyone catching her at this stage.

“Leona Lewis is the one price we’re keeping a close eye on given the weight of support she’s attracted at 10/1, but the rest of the field looks more like outside punts than genuine threats right now.”
