THE VOICE star Ricky Wilson has lashed out at his fellow coaches Paloma Faith and Boy George ahead of tomorrow night’s semi-final in a really awkward Twitter spat.
Ricky Wilson takes a swipe at Boy George and Paloma Faith in bizarre spat
The Kaiser Chiefs star began today by kicking off at the show's bosses and his fellow singers because he felt his own acts Kevin Simm and Jolan weren’t getting enough attention.
"Morning guys," he tweeted. "Has Paloma been on the radio with her acts this morning? Asking for a friend,” before adding: "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."
But his day only got worse when The Voice UK’s Twitter page promoted a Q&A with Paloma and George.
He moaned: “This is getting silly. It's as if they actually hate Jolan and Kevin. Please vote for the best singer on Saturday."

However, he later apologised for his remarks and posted: "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!"
When Paloma swooped in to assure that everyone “adores” his two remaining finalists, he kindly replied: “Sorry I was being a wazzock. I get too competitive sometimes. X"
It seems Ricky has had a change of heart since warning fans not to vote for his finalists during the live shows.

Ricky has already been branded the 'most competitive' coach
Speaking to press including Express.co.uk, the 38-year-old groaned: "People can pick up the phone and vote, but they can also go online and buy songs and it's cheaper to buy a song than it is to vote.
"On Saturday night if you think about voting on The Voice, don't bother! Just wait unit they put out a song and buy it, because it'll be cheaper," he added.
The Voice continues tomorrow night at 7pm on BBC One.
