Take That's Mark Owen for 'The Voice' UK?

Mark Owen is reportedly in talks to join new BBC singing competition The Voice.

Producers are said to have offered the Take That singer a deal to become a judge on the show, following in the footsteps of bandmate Gary Barlow who is currently on the X Factor panel.

Jessie J was the first artist to be confirmed as a coach on The Voice UK.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "Getting Mark to sign up would be a huge scoop for The Voice. The format has been a ­massive success in America and the BBC are determined to make sure they get the highest quality of judges possible.

"Gary has been a big hit on The X Factor and Beeb bosses love the idea of ­getting one of his bandmates to go head-to-head against him on a rival show. Ideally producers want a huge international name but they also want a home-grown megastar.

"Although Jessie J is big right now, she's relatively new. Mark is perfect because he's not only had a hugely successful 20-year career, he's also relevant now. And signing him up to be a rival to Gary is even more of an ­incentive."

Tom Jones, Bryan Adams, Mary J Blige and Lenny Kravitz have all been linked to a role on the show.

Kylie Minogue was recently ruled out of becoming a judge on The Voice because she would cost the corporation too much money.
