FIRST LOOK: The Voice UK returns with TV legend Bernie Clifton and Irish star John Bonham
THE VOICE UK returns on Saturday for its final outing on BBC One, with eleven hopefuls aiming to impress the new-look coaching panel - and, as ever, there are a couple of familiar faces in the mix.
Bernie Clifton and John Bonham will be on this weekend's instalment of The Voice UK
Children’s entertainer Bernie Clifton, who in his prime was often seen riding a yellow ostrich called Oswald, will be hoping to impress Paloma Faith, will.i.am, Boy George and Ricky Wilson by taking to the stage in the first episode.
Keri-Ellah Cromack from Leeds, whose Twitter feed is peppered with promises of an upcoming debut single, will also be making an appearance in a bid to make it to one of the famous four’s teams, as well as long-haired John Bonham - after who previously competed on The Voice of Ireland.
Other hopefuls we’ll meet include Tom Rickels, who has nearly 9,000 YouTube subscribers, and 24-year-old Ryan Willingham.
A performer by the name of Lyrikal will be trying to impress the panel, along with man of the cloth Reverend John.

Brooklyn Richards, Aine Carroll, Dwaine Hayden, Cody Frost and Beth Morris - sure to turn heads in a leopard-print playsuit - complete Saturday’s line-up.
Former X Factor hopeful Lydia Lucy and ex-Waterloo Road star Thomas Milner are set to show up later in the series too.
The Voice will be moving to ITV after its next cycle, after the commercial network outbid the BBC for the rights to air the format.

Although it has struggled to produce many chart stars, it has been a consistent ratings hit, especially in its Blind Auditions stage - with last year’s run posting an increase on the previous two seasons and finishing with a higher series average than The X Factor. Both shows had Rita Ora as a judge.
Emma Willis and Marvin Humes return as hosts for the third time, after replacing Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates in 2013.
The Voice UK airs on Saturday at 7:30pm on BBC One.
