She will be the face of the ITV incarnation when the show makes its debut early next year, the commercial broadcaster confirmed.

ITV has also confirmed the departure of Emma’s former co-host Marvin Humes in a statement.
“Marvin won’t be appearing on next year’s series, but remains very much a part of the ITV family, and we look forward to working with him on other projects in the near future.”

ITV is yet to announce the judging panel, but 2016 coaches will.i.am, Ricky Wilson, Paloma Faith and Boy George were popular with viewers.
