Ricky Wilson gets “catty” with other The Voice coaches, apologises for being “a wazzock”

Ricky Wilson has apologised for being “catty” after suggesting BBC’s The Voice “hate” his acts.

The coach started by saying he hadn’t realised he was allowed to “parade” his finalists Jolan and Kevin Simm around town.

Morning guys. Has Paloma been on the radio with her acts this morning? Asking for a friend.

I'd just like to clarify that I'm not being lazy when I don't parade my finalists around town. I didn't know it was even an option.

As fellow coach Boy George sent a message urging fans to vote for his team, Wilson had other ideas about it.

Paloma Faith joined in to insist everyone “adores” Wilson’s acts:

@Rickontour @BBCTheVoiceUK @BoyGeorge everyone ADORES Jolan and Kevin. Me included ?

Meanwhile Boy George was fighting his own fires:

If you come on to my timeline telling me how you prefer the other coaches singers………well……work it out?

At rehearsals with the gang. Soz if I was a bit catty earlier. I love this show and all my team. Competitive is an understatement!

Perhaps someone should turn the heating down in the studio?

We’re told he’s “joking” and there are indeed plans for him to go on the radio with his team next week. Maybe his calendar hadn’t synced.
