'Voice' will.i.am, Danny O'Donoghue 'haven't heard of James Arthur'

The Voice UK coaches will.i.am and Danny O'Donoghue have taken a swipe at The X Factor by claiming not to have heard of its latest winner James Arthur.

The X Factor winner didn't make it past auditions to sing in front of the judging panel, still - he did okay in the end


And it’s just as well because judges Danny O’Donoghue and will.i.am have absolutely no idea who he is.

An insider revealed: “James was on The Voice last year but we didn’t put it in the show. He didn’t even make it to the judges stage.”

Danny added extra insult to the Impossible singer, saying: “I’ve never heard of him. He didn’t make it through. 

“30,000 people audition and then they get whittled down to what gets presented to us, so he obviously didn't make it through to that part"

Fellow judge will.i.am added: “Who's James Arthur?"


The musicians were nonplussed by the revelation that the 'Impossible' singer had been rejected from their BBC talent show prior to the blind auditions, as they were unaware of his subsequent X Factor triumph.

A source close to Arthur claimed: "He went to the first audition but didn't pursue it. It's not something he was interested in

A poll of Digital Spy readers revealed that they are more excited about series two of The Voice than the return of The X Factor's sister show Britain's Got Talent, which is set to air two weeks later.
