The Voice UK 2013: Reggie Yates and Danny O’Donoghue begin X Factor feud


The Voice UK 2013 kicks off soon and Reggie Yates has begun the inevitable feud with rival show The X Factor. 

Last year saw many hits back and forth from the talent of both shows, with Reggie claiming the Voice was more “credible” and Danny O’Donoghue claiming to have only watched “10 minutes” of the rival series. 

But ITV bosses hit back, blasting the series as a “derivative” of their own shows such as Britain’s Got Talent. 

Reigniting the yearly war of words in the press, Danny said: “The rows between the judges on X Factor aren’t real. The Voice is real – you can never tell what is going to happen, we don’t know what’s going to happen. You never know what talent will come out onto that stage, or which judge they will choose and how hard we will fight for them” 

According to Reggie “If our judges fall out in the new series it will be real. If Danny and Will start a war of words they will mean it. When Tom tells about his celeb friends, it will be real and if Jessie’s shoes reach a phenomenal height they will be real.” 

This year’s second series of The Voice UK will see Jessie J, Will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Danny O’Donoghue all back on the panel, and Reggie thinks it was a good decision to keep the same coaches. 

Reggie continued: “That’s the one thing that’s constant on our show – the judges, they always act the way that they feel. They don’t do anything because anyone has prodded them, they know each other and they know which buttons to press on each other to get a reaction, Danny doesn’t know what chairs are for he seems to think standing on them is a good idea, but then he’s always standing up anyway.We just need to teach him how to sit down” 


Reggie added: “The talent this year is bloody good – it’s really looking great. So it’s exciting to be working on this series. 

“The changes they have made are definitely making the show that bit more juicy, watch this space. And yes we still have Danny’s hairs on the back of his neck standing up, ‘It's a Hairy Ovation. Hairy O’Donoghue and ‘THE HAIR FAME!’”
