The Voice mentor Ricky Wilson has already quit the show, and will.i.am is considering following him out the door.
The Black Eyed Peas singer admits he still hasn’t decided whether he’ll stay on the talent series once it moves to ITV next year.
will.i.am, who’s appeared on The Voice since it launched in the UK in 2012, says he can’t imagine continuing as a judge if current executive producer Moira Ross isn’t part of the deal.
‘I love Moira and it’s going to be hard if she’s not there,’ he told the Daily Mirror.

‘My gut is telling me to see out this season first. I don’t want to make my decision until then.’
It was announced last year that the current series of The Voice, which launched in the UK in 2012, would be its last on the BBC after ITV outbid the corporation.
The network are reportedly keen to keep will.i.am, but it looks like he’ll be keeping them on their toes – for now.
But while he’s unsure about remaining on The Voice, it seems there’s little chance of the 40-year-old moving to a rival show.

‘No matter what network it is on I do like the poetry of The Voice,’ he added.
Although will.i.am and fellow judges Paloma Faith and Boy George’s (who both joined this year) futures on the show are currently up in the air, Ricky recently announced that he won’t be returning.
‘This is my last one anyway… I don’t think ITV would want me,’ he told the Daily Mirror.
‘They would want to have a totally new show.’
The Voice will launch on ITV in 2017.
