It's all kicking off on The Voice of Ireland. We visited the coaches on set and they had plenty to say about each other! 

This year's show is shaping up to be as big a battle between the coaches as it will be between the contestants.

On a recent visit to Voice set, RTÉ TEN chatted to judges Una Foden, Rachel Stevens, Bressie and Kian Egan and it's clear that all the coaches are gunning for the top prize.

Una, who is due to give birth to her second child with hubby rugby star Ben Foden any day now said: "I do know that Kian really really wants it, but I want it just as much so sorry Kian."

Bressie seems to be enjoying winding new girls Una and Rachel up, in fact he told us that he loves playing tricks on Rachel, who he is sitting beside.

He explained that if they both turn their chairs for the same act, he tells her not to oversell her pitch and then he will really go for it so that the act will pick him. "It's brilliant that I am sitting beside Rachel because I keep giving her all the wrong advice." 

But former S Clubber Rachel reckons she's got the measure of last year's winning coach. She said defiantly: "I can handle Bressie, definitely."

The boys were full of bravado and banter, with Bressie calling Kian an egomaniac and Kian responding with: "We've got to give Bressie something in life, he can have the reigning champ as much as he wants.
