Guest mentors for series 11 of The Voice UK

David Guetta for Team Will

MNEK for Team Anne-Marie

Tom Grennan for Team Tom

James Arthur for Team Olly

For this season of the Voice, the show replaced the usual 'Battles' round with 'The Callbacks', which is a twist to the show first adopted by the tenth season of The Voice Australia. The Callbacks aired on 15 October. In this round, each coach brought in a mentor for their team. David Guetta, MNEK, Tom Grennan, and James Arthur were invited by will.i.am, Anne-Marie, Tom Jones, and Olly Murs, respectively.

In the Callbacks, the coaches divided their 10 contestants selected in the Blind Auditions into three groups where they were given the same song to sing in their own styles. After all three or four artists of the same group finished their performances, the coaches will have to choose one to advance to the semi-final. A total of three artists were taken through to the semi-final per coach.
