They went on to add to The Sun : "It's very early days but they think they could carve up a good deal. LeAnn is an incredible talent and her record of awards and record sales speak for themselves.
"ITV thinks she would make an incredible coach and LeAnn is excited to see if she can make it work with her schedule." LeAnn is no stranger to television, having starred in a reality show with her actor-husband, Eddie Dibrian, titled LeAnn & Eddie, which was to clear the air about their relationship.

She's also had 40 singles making the official charts and becoming one of the biggest names in music. Last year, it was announced that Olly would be leaving the show after six years, leaving him "gutted and shocked" but he told fans the decision was entirely his.
Speaking at the time, he told The Sun: "I'm gutted. I got the call last week to say I won't be back on the show, and it's a bit of a shock, to be honest. I didn't really expect that to come... I don't want to bulls**t my fans or bulls**t people who watch the show and say, 'Oh, it was an amicable decision to leave — I've got lots of things on next year, I can't do it any more. Did I want to leave? No."
An ITV spokesperson said: "We will be confirming the lineup for The Voice UK 2024 in due course."
