The Voice UK DRAMA: 'What's the point?' Gavin Rossdale SNUBBED by 'rude' David Walliams
DAVID WALLIAMS has come under fire after he unashamedly snubbed The Voice UK star Gavin Rossdale during The Nightly Show.

Last night’s instalment of the ITV chat show saw Rossdale, Sir Tom Jones, Jennifer Hudson and will.i.am, join the Britain’s Got Talent judge to dish the dirt on tonight’s The Voice.
However, while the comedian hurled questions at Hudson, Jones and the Black Eyed Peas frontman, the audience noticed that Rossdale didn’t get a look-in.
“Dear @ITV, RE: Friday's #TheNightlyShow. Why didn't@GavinRossdale get a question?! ALL guests are there to talk aren't they? #SpareWheel,” fumed one viewer, as another asked: “#TheNightlyShow Bet @GavinRossdale wished he'd not bothered. What was the point. Great interviewing skills@davidwalliams…”
A third raged: “Did #davidwalliams really ignore and not talk to #gavinrossdale? #thenightlyshow,” which was followed by: “#thenightlyshow Nothing to ask Gavin Rossdale then?? He didn't look impressed, bored even…”

Why didn't Gavin Rossdale get a question?
This particularly disgruntled customer cried: “How could anyone not speak to the gorgeous @GavinRossdaleon #TheNightlyShow - naughty @davidwalliams.”
Walliams’ week of instalments has faced a barrage of backlash from viewers while audience figures have halved over the course of his five-episode stint.
What’s more, ITV jeopardised the News at Ten which also saw its ratings dip after being pushed from its usual slot to 10.30pm.

Elsewhere, Sir Tom Jones defended Gavin Rossdale exclusively to Express.co.uk, after viewers asked: “Who is he?”
The Voice UK continues tonight at 8.30pm on ITV while The Nightly Show returns at 10.30pm on the same channel.
