Tom Jones was removed from "The Voice UK" judging panel.

Fans were disappointed with the BBC's decision to remove Tom Jones since he has already been an iconic member of "The Voice." Jones announced this news to his fans on Aug. 14 and said that he was only informed one day before the new "Voice" panel was revealed.

According to Digital Spy, Jones was disappointed with the way he has been dropped out of the show without talking to him about this. He even called out BCC executives and said they have displayed a "sub-standard behavior."

Meanwhile, BBC executives finally spoke back about these allegations of unfair treatment to the 75-year-old Welsh singing legend.

According to Mirror, the bosses in BBC have already decided to discontinue his contract for the next season since they have noticed that Jones was "disengaged" on the show.

"There are plenty of other people out there who would make good, enthusiastic coaches," the source told Mirror.

A different insider added that the entire production team felt the same way. All of them wanted to "get rid of him and have already started thinking about alternatives."

Jones, defended himself and said that he and his team have always been professional on the show. He said, "Our positive contribution to the programme was much appreciated, with that appreciated often verbally expressed by those we worked with in production right up to the end of series four." 

Now, the reality singing contest will continue without Jones on the judges' panel. "The Voice" will start in January 2016.
