Ariana Grande has revealed that she would love to coach young contestants on a rumored kids version of The Voice.

US network NBC is said to be planning a spinoff of the singing competition especially for children – a format that has been successful in Germany, Holland and Finland.

Having started her own career in showbiz at a young age, Grande explained that there are both pros and cons to being a young performer.

“I think it’s a good idea because there are so many young talented artists out there,” she told Digital Spy. “They have this incredible gift and don’t really have a way to be heard.

“But I also think it’s hard to throw a little kid into an industry like this. I’m telling you, I’m almost 20 and I’m having a rough time with it myself!”

Asked if she would be interested in a role on the show to help coach the young contestants, Grande replied: “Yeah, of course I would. It would be the cutest ever and I would love that.

“It would be so hard to tell a kid no, so I would tell them all yes and put them through!”

The singer recently premiered her new single ‘The Way’, which is available to download in the US and UK now.
