The 37-year-old singer and his fellow returning judge will.i.am have been joined on a revamped panel by Paloma Faith and Boy George and the Kaiser Chiefs star has revealed their competitive spirit has led to some pretty spectacular disagreements.

He said: "We're all getting into the spirit of the game, which is brilliant! We're all in the music industry, which is the most competitive industry in the world.

"So, to put four competitive people next to each other and dangle some of the best singers you've ever heard in your life front of them, you can't expect us not to fight. But it's not really bitchy. It's flamboyant!"

Meanwhile, Ricky also admitted he's been following the progress of his former 'Voice' co-star Rita Ora on 'The X Factor', after she switched alliances earlier this year.

Asked if he's been watching Rita, he told Radio Times magazine: "Yeah, of course! She's having a great time. She texted me a picture the other day of her on Simon Cowell's jet and I was in Salford recording 'The Voice'. It's very different!

"I'm really pleased for her. Rita keeps evolving, she's doing what the hell she wants and that's who she is."
