The 'Only Love Can Hurt Like This' hitmaker was left visibly upset after she clashed with her fellow judge on the BBC One show as they both tried to recruit former Liberty X singer Kevin Simm to their team.

Boy George said: "There are a lot of big voices in the show. You sit and you think no one can be better than that, then suddenly someone sings.

"It's just constant surprise. One thing that I do know is that I understand singers. That's my forte."

When Paloma pretended to fall asleep, he hit back: "Excuse me, Palaver."

To which she retorted: "Is it finished, is it time for us to wake up?"

But Boy George clearly took a distaste to the comments, telling her she was "extremely rude".

He said: "That's extremely rude. Very rude. Anyway, you're amazing Kevin."

He then takes a personal dig at Paloma, saying: "One thing you haven't done Paloma is had a hit in America and I've had a few."

Visibly upset, she replies: "Maybe I haven't achieved that now but I haven't had as long in the game as George... and eventually, hopefully one day I will."
