Kelly Rowland Posts Behind-the-Scenes Snap from Her Role as a Coach on 'The Voice UK'
Filming for season 14 of the British singing competition series is underway, but a premiere date is not currently known
The Destiny's Child alum has previously appeared on several singing competition showsKelly Rowland is buzzing about her latest gig.
On Monday, June 30, the 'Motivation' singer, 44, shared footage of herself on set as season 14 of The Voice UK's filming is underway.
'New gig, who dis…' she wrote over an Instagram Stories video of her walking past a row of empty coaches' chairs as crew members talked amongst themselves in the background.
At the bottom of the clip, she tagged the long-running singing competition series.
The Voice UK announced season 14's celebrity coaches at the start of the month in a June 3 social media post.
'Kelly… can you handle this? 😏,' the caption began, making a clever play at Destiny's Child's 2001 hit single, 'Bootylicious.' The post continued, 'Meet the Coaches newest recruit when The Voice UK returns ✌️.'
Rowland's photo appeared in the announcement, along with a shot of Tom Jones, will.i.am, and Tom Fletcher & Danny Jones, also known as British pop stars McFly.
All appeared in an Instagram Reels post that the Mea Culpa actress posted to her Instagram Stories on Monday.
'Have you heard the news?' was written over the video, which channeled a Mean Girls inspired whisper to the tune of Missy Elliott's 'Pass That Dutch' — the song famously associated with viewers learning all the juicy details about The Plastics.
In the video Rowland shared, the McFlys whispered to each other, making surprised faces before sharing the news with a stunned Jones, who then told will.i.am before he passed the information along to the 'Dilemma' star.
The clip ended with her making a funny face before she smiled and walked off.
The Voice UK isn't Rowland's first go at lending her expertise to a British singing competition — she also had a hand in putting Little Mix together on The X Factor UK.
'I just remember seeing all the ladies, and I don't know if it's because of my DC days and just feeling what that chemistry would feel like, but I knew what they felt like in my soul, and I felt like I knew what they would look like altogether and I went off my instincts, to be honest,' Rowland said in a November 2022 interview.
Rowland has also appeared on The X Factor US, The X Factor UK Interactive, and The Voice AU.
Additionally, Rowland will serve as a guest judge on Netflix's upcoming music competition series Building the Band. Contestants will have to come together to be bandmates without ever seeing one another.
Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean will serve as the host while Tony winner and former Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger will serve as mentor and judge.

Prior to Payne's death, Rowland told PEOPLE he was "absolutely hilarious" during their time working on the show. "I didn't know how funny he was, so I'm getting to know him, and he is so cool," she said in August 2024.
Building the Band premieres on Netflix on July 9.

It's Princess Diana's Birthday, And Prince William Has Major Plans To Honour It
Prince William has a deeply meaningful plan to honour what would've been his mother Princess Diana's 64th birthday today. Prince William intends to travel to Sheffield to mark the second anniversary of his Homewards initiative, which aims to make homelessness 'rare, brief and unrepeated.' The initiative was largely inspired by the advocacy of his late mother. Prince William launched the Homewards initiative in 2023 as part of a five-year plan to tackle homelessness. Per the Royal Foundation, 'Homewards will support local partners to form locally led coalitions of committed individuals, organisations, and businesses who will work together to create and deliver a tailored plan to prevent homelessness in their areas – based on local needs and local expertise.' Upon the launch of the initiative, Prince William featured in an ITV documentary, Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, in which he commented on how much of an inspiration Princess Diana had been in his establishing the scheme. 'My mother took me to The Passage [a homeless shelter]. She took Harry and I both there. I must have been about 11, I think, probably, at the time. Maybe 10. I'd never been to anything like that before. And I was a bit anxious as to what to expect,' Prince William said in the documentary, per the BBC. 'My mother went about her usual part of making everyone feel relaxed, and having a laugh and joking with everyone. I remember at the time, kind of thinking, well, if everyone's not got a home, they're all going to be really sad.' Prince William's interview in the 2024 ITV documentary also marked his first time in six years publicly referencing his brother Prince Harry.

Fact Check: Debunking rumor Piers Morgan and Susan Boyle are getting married
Claim: In June 2025, British broadcaster Piers Morgan and Scottish singer Susan Boyle were engaged and planning to get married. Rating: A rumor that circulated online in late June 2025 claimed that Piers Morgan and Susan Boyle, a Scottish singer who rose to international fame in 2009 after appearing on the reality TV show "Britain's Got Talent," were getting married. According to the story, the two British celebrities had been secretly dating for years and were now engaged to be married, having decided to go public with their relationship after keeping it private for over a decade. For instance, one Facebook post (archived) shared on June 25, 2025, with the claim reached over 5,900 reactions. It read: From Secret Crush to Husband and Wife: The Unexpected Love Story of Piers Morgan and Susan Boyle. In a twist no one predicted — yet one that feels strangely destined — British broadcaster Piers Morgan and global singing sensation Susan Boyle have revealed they are not only a couple, but engaged to be married. After more than a decade in the public eye, both as household names in their own right, the pair have reportedly been quietly dating for years, far from the cameras, red carpets, and relentless media glare. Now, they're ready to step into the spotlight — this time, together... The post featured a collage of three images showing Morgan and Boyle together, two of which depicted them in wedding attire posing inside a church setting. (Facebook page Musical Monument) Other Facebook users also shared the same copy-pasted text. Some of those posts featured links in top comments leading to articles hosted by WordPress blogs, such as one advertisement-filled story hosted on the website (archived) or (archived). The articles started: Piers Morgan and Susan Boyle's Secret Romance Comes to Light — And Now They're Getting Married In a twist no one predicted — yet one that feels strangely destined — British broadcaster Piers Morgan and global singing sensation Susan Boyle have revealed they are not only a couple, but engaged to be married. After more than a decade in the public eye, both as household names in their own right, the pair have reportedly been quietly dating for years, far from the cameras, red carpets, and relentless media glare. Now, they're ready to step into the spotlight — this time, together. However, searches of Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google and Yahoo found no news media outlets reporting about Morgan marrying Boyle. Since both are well-known public figures in the UK and internationally, such a development would have been widely covered by reputable news organizations if it were true. The absence of any credible reporting strongly indicates the claim is false. Additionally, Piers Morgan is currently married to journalist Celia Walden. The couple got married in June 2010, and have a daughter together. As of this writing, there have been no credible reports of a separation or divorce. The claim circulated alongside three images — two of which showed Morgan and Boyle in a church dressed as bride and groom and appeared to be digitally crated. Signs of AI (Artificial Intelligence) featured in the photo included visual inconsistencies such as unnaturally distorted hands, shown in the image below. (Facebook page Musical Monument/Snopes Illustration) Additionally, Boyle was wearing a different wedding dress in each of the two images, further indicating the images were fabricated. (Facebook page Musical Monument/Snopes Illustration) The third image, however, was authentic. It showed Boyle and Morgan standing together in relation to their appearance on the ITV1 show "Piers Morgan's Life Stories." The episode aired in 2010, when Boyle was interviewed about her rapid rise to fame following her "Britain's Got Talent" debut. This photo had been publicly available for over a decade and has appeared in multiple media outlets, including the Daily Record and Daily Mail, as well as ITV's official website. ( via Wayback Machine) The origins of the rumor may trace back to Boyle's past comments expressing admiration for Morgan reportedly since 2009. When asked about her past crush on Morgan in a 2019 interview, Boyle responded, she still liked him a bit, adding, "I've grown up a bit." "I call him Piersy Baby," she said on the Loose Woman program in 2020, adding that her crush on Morgan was probably more of a "smash." By 2021, Boyle stated that she no longer fancied Morgan, to which Morgan responded writing in an X post, "Crushing. 😢" Finally, as mentioned earlier, Morgan is married to someone else. In April 2025, his wife shared an Instagram post reading, "When you're married to @piersmorgan," further proving the couple remained together. For further reading, Snopes previously reported on another story claiming Barron Trump married Princess Leonor of Spain in a royal wedding held at a European palace. - YouTube. Accessed 1 Jul. 2025.

28 Years Later 'Alpha' Chi Lewis-Parry Reacts To 1 Big Part Of The Film That's Got Everyone Talking
Even if you've not seen 28 Years Later yet, the chances are you're aware there's one big part of the film that's really got people talking. The sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later introduces new variants of the 'infected', including the so-called 'Slow-Los', more zombie-like beings who shuffle close to the floor in search of worms to eat, and 'Alphas' who are more physically dominant and powerful – and also have the unique trait of walking around completely nude. Because the film's protagonist Spike was played by teenager Alfie Williams, it was a requirement that all of this nudity be achieved through the use of prosthetics, with that of Chi Lewis-Parry, who plays Samson, really capturing people's attention. Chi – who was an MMA fighter before becoming an actor – recently spoke to GQ about the reception his character has received, enthusing: 'I'm here for it, man!' 'No matter how bizarre people's reactions might be, it's all part of the world we've created, and I'm proud of it,' he insisted. 'So if people want to talk about my willy, they can talk about my willy.' He also shared that while his first reaction to his prosthetic may have been 'that's gonna be out, just walking around', he and his colleagues quickly got used to it. 'To be honest, I was so involved in that character, that it wasn't anything I was really thinking about,' he claimed. 'That big swinging dong just happened to be a byproduct of Samson.' On why Danny Boyle chose for the 'infected' character to be so uniquely endowed, Chi offered: 'Danny is quite poetic in the way that he speaks, and he doesn't do things by accident. He's quite methodical. I find there's an art in that. '[Samson] is an evolved man who's been infected for the last 28 years, and a natural part of that evolution [is that] if he's growing in size, everything's gonna grow. So it's not surprising that his penis is very large.' Last month, Chi explained to Variety: 'There's a law that states, I think, because [Alfie is] a child, you're allowed to have nudity but it has to be fake nudity. It was to protect him. 'And, as well, I'm really friendly and am always hugging people. I wouldn't have been doing that if I was fully in the nip!' 28 Years Later's sequel, titled The Bone Temple, was shot simultaneously with the most recent film, with filmmaker Nia DaCosta on directing duties. It's not known yet whether Chi's character will appear in the follow-up, but what has been made clear is that it will expand more on 28 Years Later's mind-boggling final moments.
