First-look stills from the new series of The Voice UK show coaches Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson and Olly Murs hunting through a “library of sound” for the perfect voice.

In a preview of the glamorous teaser for the TV talent show, the coaches appear enthralled as they look through hundreds of glowing jars to find the voice of their winner.

Adding to the magical effect of the trailer, the country house’s owners allowed for the shelves to be cleared of antique books and replaced with more than 2,000 individually lit jars, each light representing different voices.

The new series of the ITV programme sees former X Factor star Murs joining the existing line-up.

Murs replaces Gavin Rossdale, who was one of the coaches on this year’s series.
