The Australian version of “The Voice” has announced a powerhouse slate of coaches for the upcoming season. Fans seem especially eager to see how former Spice Girl Mel C. does coaching a team of her own.
Mel C., whose full name is Melanie Chisholm, has done reality television before. She competed on season 30 of “Dancing with the Stars,” which aired in 2021. Chisholm partnered with DWTS professional dancer Gleb Savchenko, and the pair was eliminated after just a few performances.
This time, Chisholm will be coaching newer performers and hoping to have one of her team members beat out the singers chosen by the other coaches.
