Danny O'Donoghue has followed Jessie J out of The Voice, becoming the second coach to quit the show in as many weeks.
The Script star, who won the last series with visually-impaired singer Andrea Begley, announced on Twitter that he will not be returning for a third series due to recording commitments.
"I had two wonderful seasons on The Voice and as everybody knows I gave it my heart and soul and couldn't be more proud of the show and what we have achieved," the 32-year-old said.
"My focus will be on The Script moving forward as we are about to embark on the most important part of our career as a band."

The broadcaster wished the Dublin-born singer-songwriter all the best on the BBC One Twitter account, saying that it hoped that Danny and the band would return to perform during the next series.
Mark Linsey, BBC controller of entertainment commissioning, admitted that telly bosses understood how touring schedules could be "difficult to juggle" with TV commitments.
"Danny has been an absolute star - and a winner - on The Voice but we understand that he, like Jessie has to focus on his music career and The Script have such an incredibly busy year ahead," he said.
"The Voice coaches are all current music stars with recording and touring careers to manage alongside the show and we know this can be difficult to juggle.
"We are very sorry to see Danny go but wish him and the band the very best and hope they will come back and perform for us next series."
It has not been indicated whether will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones will return for another series on the show - but it was added that the full coaches' line-up "will be announced in due course".Â
