Sir Tom Jones fans have expressed their concern after spotting a mark on his face during the latest episode of The Voice.
The singing competition kicked off its latest season on Saturday with Jones reuniting with will.i.am, Olly Murs and Anne Marie in the show's iconic spinning chairs.
While there were a number of budding singers who managed to capture the attention of viewers, Jones' appearance also garnered interest.
Throughout the show, a slight mark was visible on Jones' cheek.
However, Jones paid no reference to the mark and it didn't hinder his ability to wow the audience with his participation in the judges' rendition of Stairway to Heaven or provide his verdict on the contestants' performances.
Nevertheless, several viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their concern, including one fan who penned: "What's that new spot on Tom's face? Hope it's ok...#TheVoice."

However, others were simply quick to share their admiration for the Welsh rocker who managed to put on an age-defying performance on The Voice stage.
One X user weighed in: "Sir Tom Jones 83 years of age and still has some pipes what a legend #thevoiceuk."
While another praised: "#SirTomJones amazing as usual!!! Get him to do an audience with show, would rather listen to Tom singing the hits than many of these auditions #TheVoiceUK."
The 83-year-old has often been open with his health woes in recent years, including publicly addressing the double hip replacement he had to undertake.
He wrote in a social media post following the procedure: "Papa has two new hips now!
