X Factor runner-up Olly Murs is reportedly signing up to be a coach on The Voice.
It's said that he'll replace Gavin Rossdale on the panel, joining Sir Tom Jones, Jennifer Hudson and Will.i.am on the ITV talent show.
But apparently, the move has left his former mentor and X Factor boss Simon Cowell a little angry.
Olly, 33, rose to fame after coming in second place on the show in 2009, later returning to host alongside Caroline Flack in 2015.
Now a TV insider has told The Sun : "It’s a huge coup for The Voice to have Olly on board.

"He’s got talent show experience, comedic charm and a huge fanbase. His personality will shine through as a coach.
"It won’t be like when he presented X Factor when he had to remain impartial."
But the source added that Simon "isn't happy" about Olly swapping allegiances, especially since he left the X Factor to apparently concentrate on his music.
Mirror Online has contacted Olly's representatives and ITV for comment.

We've also reached out to Simon's reps.
Gavin was axed from The Voice earlier this year.
The Bush frontman , 51, joined the judging panel after the BBC series moved to ITV.
But, after just one series, the rock star, who is the father of model Daisy Lowe , has been dropped by the show’s bosses.
Sources told The Sun on Sunday that he had been axed by show chiefs, who felt his performance lacked charisma.
