The BBC has announced the launch of an interactive mobile phone app for The Voice UK fans, featuring the HomeCoach Game, which puts them in the coaches' chairs and allows them to listen to blind auditions and choose if they'd turn around based on the contestant's voice alone.

Fans can also look at other HomeCoaches' decisions and compare scores with friends via Facebook. An additional online spin-off series titled The Voice Louder, hosted by Emma Willis and Marvin Humes, will also be available, with a show summary and behind-the-scenes material. The Voice UK returns for a third series January 11.
