Kylie Minogue was among the first to reach out to 'I Predict A Riot' star Ricky Wilson after the Kaiser Chiefs star was announced as the fourth and final judge on the 2014 series of The Voice.
After Wilson was revealed as the fourth judge on the 2014 show (replacing The Script star Danny O'Donoghue), Minogue sent a congratulations tweet to Wilson, sparking what is sure to be a long and beautiful friendship.
"See you Soon!!!!!" Minogue tweeted at Wilson.
He replied: "I'm sat with my bags on the doorstep. What time you picking me up? X"
The 'Oh My God' star will be sitting alongside Sir Tom Jones, Kylie Minogue and Will.i.am on the line-up, assumingly replacing The Script's Danny O'Donoghue as 'the slightly indie one' after he declined to return for another series.
"Who doesn't want to spend their Saturday night with Kylie Minogue?," said the 'I Predict A Riot' singer. "I spent last winter yelling at The Voice, and both Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am were total superstars."

Controller of entertainment commissioning at the BBC, Mark Linsey, hailed Wilson as one of the UK's 'great frontmen', adding: "He knows all about performance and will complement the rest of the coaching lineup perfectly."
Fans of the Kaiser Chiefs are currently awaiting new material, after drummer and songwriter Nick Hodgson left the band after 15 years earlier this year.
"After 15 years with the band and having achieved such amazing things thanks to the support and loyalty of our fans, I have decided to leave and turn my attention to other areas within the world of music and to pursue new challenges," he said on Twitter.
"It has not been an easy decision and one that the boys and I have discussed throughout this year. The band have been incredibly supportive of my decision. I wish them all continued success."
In response to his Twitter post, bandmate Ricky Wilson wrote, "The door is on the latch and the key under the mat. X."
