Sir Tom Jones leaves BBC bosses terrified as he looks set to announce his departure from The Voice

First Jessie J announced she wouldn't be returning, and then Danny O'Donoghue quit The Voice.
And now it looks as though Sir Tom Jones will be following in the footsteps of his fellow judges and announce his own departure from the BBC talent show.
According to reports, BBC bosses are doing everything they can to convince Tom to stay on for a third series.

A source told The Sun: 'Tom leaving would be another massive blow for The Voice. His credibility is a huge asset and he would be very hard to replace.
'A third star deserting the show would also give the impression it is a sinking ship.'
If Tom was to quit The Voice, the only remaining original judge would be will.i.am.
But even the Black Eyed Peas star's future on the show's judging panel is in doubt, as he was recently tipped to take the third seat on the judging panel of American Idol - meaning he could ditch The Voice for his new position in the US.

Jessie J was the first coach to step away from the show, announcing that she wanted to focus on her own music career and promote her second album.
She said previously in a statement on Twitter: 'I've absolutely loved my time on 'The Voice', and I hope everyone saw and knows how passionately I felt about the show. 'I can't wait to promote my new record around the world and that has to take priority.
'I shall be keeping a very close eye on series three, showing my support in every way I can, and really hope that in some way that I can be part of the show.'

The Script singer Danny, who won the second series of the BBC One talent show earlier this year with partially-sighted singer Andrea Begley, then announced his departure in July.
He said in a statement: 'I had two wonderful seasons on The Voice and as everybody knows I gave it my heart and soul and couldn't be more proud of the show and what we have achieved.
'My focus will be on The Script moving forward as we are about to embark on the most important part of our career as a band.'
A BBC spokesperson told MailOnline: 'It is not true to say that Tom has decided to leave The Voice as the line-up is still to be confirmed.
'We are in on-going conversations with him about his role and will announce details of the coaches for series 3 in due course.
