Keith Urban may not return to The Voice Australia coaching panel next year, but Jessica Mauboy says she’s not going anywhere.
The beloved pop star, 33, attached to The Western Australian on Sunday that she will return to the show in 2023.
“The past few years have been incredible,” says Jessica, who joined the Channel Seven program in 2021.

“I’m looking forward to coming back and Keith won’t be with us of course, but he’s also been waiting to tour and I think he was in his most important element showing all the things he’s been working on. It was a pleasure to work with him,” she added.
It is believed Jessica will be joined by returning coaches Guy Sebastian and Rita Ora next season.
Meanwhile, speculation continues over Keith’s replacement.

During the Seven Upfronts last week, host Sonia Kruger teased that a well-known name will join the panel of coaches in the 2023 season.
While the 57-year-old didn’t give any clue as to who will be competing in the competition next year, she indicated it will be a “big star.”
Daily Mail Australia understands that the network has approached several Grammy winners to appear on the Australian talent show.

Keith announced his decision to end the talent show earlier this month, explaining that he wanted to put his family first by cutting back on his work commitments.
“I don’t really consider it the end of a chapter at all, because I love doing the show,” he said The Sunday Telegraph.
“I love that those last two seasons happened and could happen for me because I loved doing it. I feel very close to everyone on set and hopefully the door can stay open because I would jump right back.

“Just as The Voice in America has a number of coaches who come and go depending on what their schedules are, I would like to hope that The Voice could offer me that opportunity too.”
He said he was trying to balance his schedule with wife Nicole Kidman so they could take their kids home with their grandparents and extended family for the holidays.
Keith kicks off his tour of Australia on December 1 at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Center.
“I don’t really consider it the end of a chapter at all, because I love doing the show,” he told The Sunday Telegraph earlier this month.
