Kylie Minogue added as coach on The Voice Australia for 2014

Australia's queen of pop Kylie Minogue is taking Australian TV's talent show throne.

The former Neighbours actress turned global music star is returning to Australia to become a coach on Nine's top-rating talent show The Voice.

"I look forward to spending time in Australia, getting up close and personal with new talent and working alongside the three amazing artists." -Kylie

She will be joined on the series by Grammy-winning US singer will.i.am. The pair will replace Delta Goodrem and Seal, who are leaving the show after two seasons.

Both Minogue and will.i.am are coaches on the British version of the global talent franchise.

Ricky Martin and Joel Madden, the two remaining original judges, will stay with the series. Goodrem will switch to Nine's planned spin-off The Voice Kids.

Madden will pull double duty and appear on both programs.

Goodrem broke the news on Twitter this afternoon.
