Sir Tom Jones' appearance distracts The Voice fans as star reflects on career ending 'I'm 84 this year'

The Voice judge Sir Tom Jones left his ITV co-stars and viewers at home gobsmacked as he made a candid admission about his age and his voice

Sir Tom Jones, the beloved fixture on The Voice, has shared some heartfelt thoughts about his career and its inevitable conclusion. Despite not having any immediate plans to retire, Sir Tom, who appeared alongside fellow judges will.i. am, LeAnn Rimes, and newcomers Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher, took time to muse over his remarkable journey in showbiz, expressing disbelief at being 84 this year.

"It's a wonderful life, you know, show business," he shared with his fellow judges.

"When you perform on stage and you get that love coming back from the audience. You think 'What could be better than this? ' and that's the way I still feel today. Like I did when I was a kid."

Will. i.am of Black Eyed Peas fame responded with admiration: "To see you here, still being that inspiration and still being active, is just mind-boggling."

In an honest moment, the iconic 'Sex Bomb' singer confessed: "It is to me as well. As the years go on, you think 'How long is this voice going to last? '. I'm on stage and I open up and there it is and I think 'Is that voice coming from me? ' and that's the God's honest truth, you know. I'm 84 this year," reports Wales Online.

Fans of the show echoed these sentiments, taking to social media to share their adoration after The Voice's official account posted the touching clip.

"He is ageless. His voice is as powerful as it was when I was a little girl watching Mom leaving to see him concert. That was a very long time ago," one fan wrote in a glowing tribute.

"You are the man Tom no one else could even compare your age and your voice amazing. Legend," a fan expressed, while another chimed in: "Sir Tom you are sensational and your voice is magnificent, it still gives me chills and fever. Bless you."

One admirer confessed: "I'm still crushing on Tom Jones and I'm 61."

Another fan gushed: "Tom Jones, you are amazing. Just saw you in New York City and you are correct. Is that voice still coming from you? You were fabulous and unbelievable concert so glad I had the opportunity to see you again. Any chance you get go see Tom Jones live it is like no other experience and he sings with passion and from his heart. May you have many more years to spread your voice to those who love music." (sic).

Sir Tom and will. i.am are two of the original judges on The Voice, and this year, they were joined by newcomers LeAnn, Danny and Tom. The trio replaced previous coaches Anne Marie and Olly Murs.

Despite rumours of retirement, Sir Tom has no plans of leaving the show. His former co-star Anne Marie previously discussed the singer's future.

In a conversation with Express.co.uk and other press, the 2002 singer revealed: "He feels like every time he does a show, he said to us..'Because I was like, 'Are you bored? Are you done?'"

"I was like, 'You have experienced so much and nothing is new to you', and he said, 'Every time I hear a new voice, it is the best feeling ever'."

"He just loves it," the pop star concluded. "He just loves it."

The Voice airs on Saturday at 8.30pm on ITV.
