Britain’s Got Talent judge, Alesha Dixon, has admitted she is a big fan of the rival talent show The Voice UK.
The two talent shows have been going head-to-head on a Saturday, with The Voice on BBC One triumphing in ratings. As a result ITV have been forced to move BGT to a later time slot from the 21st of April.
But in a move that sure to annoy BGT head-honcho Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon has admitted that she is a fan of the rival show.
She told The Mirror: "My family come round on a Saturday night and we have some food and get ready to watch [Britain's Got Talent] and obviously we watch The Voice before.”
“I am a big fan of Jessie [J], I am a big fan of will.i.am and I love listening to singers so it has been enjoyable to watch."
In reaction to her comments an ITV source said: "It wasn't the brightest thing to say by Alesha. She is always outspoken but sometimes less is more and ITV and Simon [Cowell] would have preferred her to say less about The Voice, that's for sure."
Dixon also said that fellow judges Simon Cowell and David Walliams are "very feminine".
"Simon and David are doing a good job with the camp stuff, we'll leave that to them."
"I think it's going to make for a great live show. People are going to expect the campness from David to wind Simon up and I think he's going to take it well."
