The Voice UK coach will.i.am has blamed too much “politeness” for the lack of chart-topping stars to come out of television singing contests. He will be joined by returning coaches Sir Tom Jones and Jennifer Hudson, as well as newcomer Olly Murs and regular presenter Emma Willis. “They say ‘I don’t want to bug you, I know you’re busy’, but if I was them I wouldn’t be that polite. Sir Tom, whose award-winning career spans five decades, added that aggression in the music industry is becoming increasingly important. The Voice is a great showcase (but then) you’ve got to be confident within yourself if you want this to last for the rest of your life.”The Voice UK returns to ITV at 8pm on Saturday.
