The Voice contestant Ivy Paige teases Olly Murs
The blind auditions continue tonight, where Olly and Tom come to blows after the new judge is seen lounging in his red swinging chair.
Leaning back, Olly jokes that he is having a lie down to get his ear closer to the stage.
Not happy with this behaviour, Jennifer Hudson asked: “Tom, he’s a problem. What are you going to do about him?”
Intervening, Tom questioned Olly’s antics: “How old are you again? 12?”

With the audience laughing, Olly made his way over to Tom’s chair to provoke him further.
“Give me a dig,” he jibed. “Come on.”
After being ignored, Olly gave up on his attempt at evoking a reaction from Sir Tom, and set off to return to his own chair.
But before Olly realised it, he received a swift jab in the arm from Tom.

Tom, he’s a problem. What are you going to do about him?
“Okay, okay!” screamed Olly, taking himself back to his seat, once and for all.
“You asked for it!” Jennifer commented. “Tom’s like, ‘Stay in place, young man!’”
Defeated, Olly added: “He has put me in my place.”
