Sir Tom Jones, the Welsh superstar and judge on The Voice, has sparked concern among fans after they noticed a mark on his face during the first episode of the ITV show and urged him to get it checked by skin specialists.
One person commented on X, formerly Twitter: "I hope Sir Tom has had that brown mark on his face checked out," while another viewer asked: "What's that new spot on Tom's face? Hope it's ok."
Sir Tom took to social media after the show to comment on a performance with contestant Stan.
Sharing a video of the duo singing, he captioned it: "Great to perform with the marvellous Stan on @thevoiceuk."
The legendary singer has been open about his health struggles in the past. He had both of his hips replaced in the last decade, with surgeries in 2017 and 2022.
Before his right hip replacement, he struggled to stand up during performances as he revealed that before the surgery, he could only "do about four songs without sitting".
Speaking at ITV's Entertainment Autumn Showcase last year, he said: "I've got to have a new hip. I had [my left hip] done five years ago and it worked great, so now [my right hip's] starting to go wear and tear! So, at the moment, I'm bone on bone!
"That's what the fella [doctor] told me. But I've got a tour to do in America first, I can't go in now. He said, 'Well, you should!' I said, 'I can't, I've got a show to do!'"
After his hip surgery last year, Sir Tom shared on social media: "Papa has two new hips now! For all those concerned and sent in well wishes, I am pleased to report my recent surgery went very well, I'm following orders and doing my physio, so happy to say I will be back soon!"
The star also recently revealed that he has been on a health kick which saw him drastically change his diet. He said he cut down on alcohol and started following a caveman diet which includes just lean meats, fruits, fish, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
Speaking on a Radio Two show, Sir Tom said of his weight loss : "I was putting too much weight on. I didn't think I was going to and I left the working out for a bit, thought I'd keep a check on it.
"But with the Christmas puddings and cakes, before I knew it I was 230lb (16.4 stone) which was 30lb more than I should be. I couldn't get into my suits. That's when I thought: 'This has got to stop'."
