The 'I Gotta Feeling' star is linked to show alongside Jessie J, Tom Jones and Will Young.

Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am is expected to be announced on the panel of The Voice this week, according to reports.

The rapper, who has been strongly linked with the programme in recent months, will join previously confirmed judge Jessie J.

Other acts linked to the programme include veteran singer Tom Jones and former Pop Idol winner Will Young, according to the Daily Mirror.

Last week it was announced that The Voice, which begins next year on the BBC, will be presented by Holly Willoughby and Regie Yates.

Will.i.am is currently working on his second solo album '#willpower', which is due to be released early next year.

The 'I Gotta Feeling' star has also dismissed reports that Black Eyed Peas are breaking up and insisted they are simply taking a break to pursue other projects.
