I Can See Your Voice UK Season 2 is blasting onto our screens for some Saturday night fun.

The hit show, which debuted for a seven-episode run in April 2021, kept audiences entertained as the contestants tried to bag a cash prize by figuring out which of the six 'singers' standing on stage had the voice of an angel, and who was merely 'faking' it. 

Paddy McGuinness will be back on hosting duties and will once again be joined by Amanda Holden, Alison Hammond and Jimmy Carr who are returning in their roles as 'Celebrity Investigators'. 

This second series will be longer and will include a Christmas special episode. As before, players will make their way through a series of rounds where they have to pick out who can (and can’t!) sing from a group of mystery performers, all without hearing any of them sing a single note! 

Here’s everything you need to know about I Can See Your Voice UK Season 2

I Can See Your Voice UK Season 2 — what does host Paddy McGuinness say about the new series?

Paddy says there will be some new additions to the fun this season. "This series we're getting into the action quicker and going straight into the lip-sync and the music", says host Paddy. "I'll also now be doing a lip-syncing performance myself at the start of eery show. I'm going to be doing everything from Sia to Dolly Parton."

Will there be any new rounds in season two? 

Yes! There is going to be a new section called 'Home Truths' this season. "In the new round players get can get more clues about the singers by seeing inside their real homes", explains Paddy. "It's good because it gives the panel and the contestants the chance to notice different things"

What does Paddy say about the 'Celebrity Investigator' trio? 

Paddy says, "The three of them always get quite competitive. Jimmy is usually ahead on spotting who the genuine singers are. You'd think it would be Amanda as she's done lots of West End shows."

Who are some of the famous faces who'll be duetting with the last singer standing? 

Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet will be the first famous singer on the show. Confirmed for later in the series are Lulu, Becky Hill, Simon Webbe from Blue, Alexandra Burke, Andy Bell from Erasure and West End star Layton Williams.

I Can See Your Voice UK Season 2 — What does Amanda Holden say about spotting the singers from the ringers?

"In life you get taught not to judge a book by its cover and in this show you’re doing the opposite but I’d say it’s got 100 per cent harder this series", says Amanda. "All the tricks we thought we’d nailed, like spotting someone touching their ear before they start singing or the way they hold the microphone have gone out the window because people are really clever now and  doing everything to deliberately throw us off track and win that money."

"The celebrity singers were amazing.  One of my favourite people was Layton Williams who was in the musical, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. Alexandra Burke is phenomenal and seeing Andy Bell (from Erasure) was like a throwback because I grew up with that music."

I Can See Your Voice UK Season 2 —what is Alison Hammond's verdict on this series? 

" It’s absolutely lovely being back and seeing everyone again", says Alison. " Paddy has definitely upped his role this year and there’s a treat for everyone at the beginning of each show.  When it comes to guessing the true singers from the bad singers I have no particular strategy and  this has probably been my worst series for success rate! "

I Can See Your Voice UK Season 2 —what has Jimmy Carr got to say about being back? 

"The standard has definitely gone up from series one", says Jimmy, "The good singers are great but the bad singers have put so much work into their lip syncing they’ve made it even more difficult. I think there’s going to be a lot of shouting at the telly with people playing along at home. I do a lot of teasing on the show and me, Alison and Amanda howl with laughter every week."

Is there a trailer? 

Not yet! As and when one gets released, we’ll add it to our guide! 

I Can See Your Voice UK Season 2 will air on Saturday 15 October at 9.05pm on BBC1.
