Gavin Rossdale joins "The Voice" family, following in the footsteps of his ex Gwen Stefani. While the No Doubt frontwoman became a judge/coach in the U.S. version, the Bush singer is set to be a coach in the U.K. branch for the new season.

"I am so thrilled to be joining The Voice UK," Rossdale said in a statement. "I have always been extremely proud to fly the flag for British rock music and I can't wait to join this incredible panel and help discover some new talent."

In 2014 when he was still with then-wife Stefani, Rossdale appeared on "The Voice" U.S. as a mentor for her team. Stefani now takes a break from the singing competition, but she is still dating "The Voice" judge Blake Shelton.

Editors' Pick

Another new judge on "The Voice UK" is Jennifer Hudson. The "American Idol" alum said, "The U.K. has always been so supportive of me since the beginning of my career, so I'm really looking forward to sharing my point of view with the contestants."

They are joined by returning judges Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am and legendary crooner Tom Jones.
