The Voice UK coaches are one big happy family, who even enjoy dinner together, Danny O’Donoghue has revealed!
While there are usually stories from talent shows about rows and arguments between the stars, the cast of The Voice UK have seemingly struck up a great friendship.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Danny had nothing but good words to say about his fellow coaches.
He said: “Jessie’s a real livewire. Very witty, very quick, very intelligent, all way beyond her years. She’s still only 24. Will.i.am is an amazing character. He’s genuinely funny off-screen, too, so I’m glad his real personality is coming across on the show.
“And what can I say about Sir Tom? I get the honour of sitting next to him. Van Morrison, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding — he’s got stories about working with them all. He was 40 when I was born. I have so much respect for that guy.’”
In the interview, Danny also takes a swipe at other talent shows (naming no names), claiming that everyone on the Voice can sing.
He insisted: “It’s proved you don’t have to look good to be a great singer. An image is important but it’s secondary to the voice. And, compared to some [unnamed] talent shows, everyone who comes on The Voice is a good singer.
“There was never a chance that the audience — or the judging panel — would be wincing when someone started singing. The only cringeworthy element was when the hands of the judges were hovering over those red buttons. The singers who didn’t make the cut were just testament to the high standard of the contest.”
