The Voice star Tom Jones has opened up on an issue he takes with one of his fellow judges
Sir Tom Jones has aired a grievance about one of his The Voice co-stars ahead of the new series of the ITV favourite.
The 84-year-old She’s A Lady hit-maker is gearing up for the talent show’s new series, set to air this weekend, alongside the likes of will.i.am, Danny Jones, Tom Fletcher and new coach, singer LeAnn Rimes.
Beloved Welsh star Jones recently stated that he’d continue doing The Voice “for as long as I’m alive”, The Sun reports.
Ahead of the show’s return, he gave some insight into the new series. When asked who the most competitive judge is, he explained a gripe he has towards one of his co-stars.
He admitted: “I think Will can be competitive. He is sneaky and sometimes he tries to hide if he is going to hit the button.”
The 49-year-old rapper has starred in The Voice UK since 2012 and has also coached on the UK’s edition of The Voice Kids from 2017 to 2023.

After being told he seems “in great shape”, the Sex Bomb singer explained: “I continue to work a lot and do gigs all over the world – basically, I love being on stage.”
Earlier this year, Jones detailed how he has no plans to retire from his decades-long singing career. Admitting he “can’t believe” he can still sing, he made clear he wouldn’t be retiring anytime soon.
Speaking in April, he told The Mirror: “Well, thank God my voice is still working. I am 83 years old.”
The iconic musician continued: “I mean, I can’t believe it, but it is true. When I am singing I am like, ‘How the hell is this coming out of me?’

“Honestly. If the voice was not there I am sure I would be going, ‘Urgh, I don’t want to do so many shows’, but I love it as the voice is still working!”
Recalling some of the big names he’s rubbed shoulders with throughout the years, he told the publication: “When I finally got to the US, someone said to me, ‘Elvis is here. He would like to say hello’.
“I had this ballad out at the time called With These Hands and there was Elvis walking to me singing it.
“All I can remember thinking was, ‘Jesus Christ. It was Elvis Presley walking towards me singing my song!’”

However, he more recently seemed to reignite a historic feud with Engelbert Humperdink, 88.
Decades on from their public spat, Jones labelled the singer “a p***k”.
“There is nothing friendly about me and Engelbert because he is a p***k and you can quote me on that,” Jones told The Sun on Sunday. “We fell out years ago.”
Jones was asked if he’d be reconnecting with Humperdinck on his tour, only to slap down the idea: “No. He has tried but I don’t want to talk.”
