FEISTY new judges Boy George and Paloma Faith are set for an explosive showdown on this week's episode of The Voice UK.

In scenes set to air later this week, former Liberty X star Kevin Simm unwittingly causes a heated confrontation between the fiery pair when he auditions on the BBC talent show.
Attempting a second shot at stardom, fifteen years after he found fame on ITV's Popstars, 35-year-old Kevin belts out an impressive rendition of Sia's 2014 smash hit Chandelier.
Blown away by his outstanding audition, iconic pop star Boy George gives a passionate pitch on why the Lancashire-born star should pick him as a mentor.
While the singer gave his speech, a cheeky Paloma pretends to fall asleep.

That's extremely rude. Very rude
Taking her joke one-step further, the stylish songstress then faked waking up and said: "Is it finished, is it time for us to wake up?"
Although Paloma appeared to mean no offence with the light-hearted banter, Boy George failed to see the funny side.
He quipped: "Excuse me, Paloma. No Paloma. No, I don't understand. That's extremely rude. Very rude."
While Paloma tried to defend her actions, a scathing Boy George - who is notorious for his acid tongue - said: "One thing you haven't done Paloma is had a hit in America. I've had a few so listen to me."
Not quite satisfied with his already cutting comment, he continued: "Didn't your mother teach you any lessons?"
Evidently upset, Paloma held back tears as she fled the stage while veteran judges will.i.am and Ricky Wilson remained noticeably silent.
The Voice UK continues on BBC One on Saturday at 7:45pm
