The Love Made Me Do It has been tipped by Will.i.am to replace Jennifer Hudson on ITV’s The Voice.
While Jen’s departure hasn’t been confirmed it is widely thought she will step down after the current series due to the fact she has bagged two massive acting gigs.
As well as a part in the movie version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s West End classic Cats, the vocal powerhouse will also star in a biopic about the late Aretha Franklin.
Hinting she is about to hang up her judging hate, Jen said: “You know, I am an actress as well.
“It’s kind of going into film season for me.
“I was thinking that I truly, truly love this and that’s why I’m three seasons deep in. I want to continue it, but I don’t know that my schedule will allow me to. “
Chatting about Chezza taking over the job, Will said: “I haven’t seen her in, like, six years face-to-face – ever since she was with Liam [Payne].
“I just saw her last week and it was a good reunion. She’d be good.”

Will helped carve out Cheryl’s solo career thanks to producing a string of her early singles as well as allowing her to feature on his 2007 single Heartbreaker.
The Black Eyed Peas frontman even officially became Chezza’s manager and produced her second album in 2012.
However, things reportedly went south after Chezza was dropped from The X Factor USA and cut ties with her American management team headed up by the quirky musician.

Awkwardly, Will wasn’t even aware that Cheryl married Jean Bernard Fernandez-Versini in 2014.
When asked about the marriage, Will blankly told The Daily Mail: “She got married already? Oh I didn’t even know that.
“That’s cool! I’m happy for her, that’s dope.”
