How old is Tom Jones? The Voice UK coach to be guest on Saturday Night Takeaway

The Voice UK is well into a new series and one of its stars, Sir Tom Jones, is also appearing on Saturday Night Takeaway this week.

Since making its debut on BBC in 2012, the show has always generated plenty of opinions and that hasn't changed since its switch to ITV.

Among those who have been turning their chairs over the years are Jessie J, Kylie Minogue, Boy George, Paloma Faith, Rita Ora, Danny O'Donoughue, Ricky Wilson and Gavin Rossdale (remember him?!)

And while they are no longer on The Voice, one man who is is the legend that is Sir Tom Jones.

Tom was meant to be on Saturday Night Takeaway last year but pulled out after going into self isolation for coronavirus but will be on the ITV show to join Ant and Dec this week for the End of the Show Show and to open the show with his new single No Hole in My Head.

How old is Tom Jones?

Born in Pontypridd on June 7, 1940, Sir Tom is now 80-years old.

His first big hit came in 1965 when the classic track It's Not Unusual hit number 1 in the UK and went top 10 in America.

Other songs from Tom's sizeable back catalogue include The Green, Green Grass of Home, Deililah, What's New Pussycat and Sex Bomb.
