The Voice UK coach has defended ‘abandoning’ his acts on the show, insisting that he simply takes a “different approach” to coaching.
Will has been criticised for spending the week out of the country, flying in only on Thursday to coach his artists before the live shows.
But sources claim that some of the Black Eyed Peas star’s artists aren’t happy.
“Some of Will’s acts were furious that they hadn’t been given more contact with their coach,” a supposed insider told the Daily Mirror today. “He isn’t interested in tutoring the singers on their performances. He just wants to have a chat and be done with it.
“His acts have to contact him by Twitter if they need help, but there’s no telling where he might be.”
But Will defended himself, explaining: “I’ve just got a different approach. My coaching is, ‘Hey, let’s talk’.”
He added: “I’m not worried. I don’t get nervous about not being here. It all depends on how you coach.
“If you focus on trying to unlock the magic within you, there’s no coach and no rehearsal which can bring that.
“There are people that rehearse loads and loads of times, and then, when they get on stage, they forget to bring the emotion.”
Fortunately for Will he’s free to sit this week out, with Team Jessie and Team Danny set to take to the stage on Saturday night.
live shows continue at 7:10PM on BBC One this weekend.
