Reggie Yates has revealed that he is a BIG fan of The Voice finalist Ash Morgan.
Ash is set to perform on this evening’s live show and revealed earlier today that he is sick with nerves at the thought of it.
Reggie thinks this is typical of the ‘humble’ and ‘naive’ singer who just doesn’t realise how good he is. Yates said:
Reggie Yates has admitted that as fond as he’s become of The Voice contestant Mitchel Emms, he has become even more attached to his enthusiastic father.
Emms has no bigger fan than his dad and Yates revealed that he loved spending time with the whole family at the blind audition stage, while Mitch did his thing for the coaches.
He said:
As rehearsals get underway at The Voice Arena at Pinewood in preparation for tomorrow night’s first live show, presenters Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates have given the lowdown on one of the finalists singing to become winner of The Voice UK.
Tomorrow night will see the three final singers from each team taking to the stage to sing for survival and for four of them their first live performance will also be their last as one hopeful from each coach’s group will be sent home at the quarter final stage.
It’s been reported today that comedian Lenny Henry has blasted The Voice co-host Reggie Yates for commenting in the press that he thinks there are not enough black people featuring on primetime TV, and additionally, it’s been revealed that Kerry Katona will be among a host of reality TV stars who are set to ‘fess their secrets in a new series of My Secret Past.
Starting with what Lenny had to say to Reggie – who as we reported yesterday claimed he was angry that his is the only black face to be found during the evening TV slot on a Saturday night – while appearing on Lorraine Kelly’s breakfast show, Lenny said, “He should shut up and just take the money.” Read more & comment »
Fans of DJ Reggie Yates will of course know that he co-hosts The Voice on BBC1 alongside Holly Willoughby, however, it seems Reggie’s concerned that his is the only black face to be found during the primetime viewing slots on a Saturday night.
Describing that as “scary”, Reggie said, “There should be more [black people] on prime-time telly because it’s a scary number, one…”
Speaking to The Sun’s TV Biz, Reggie continued, “It’s not something I ever thought I’d do because there’s never been anyone like me — a young black guy fronting a Saturday night programme… Read more & comment »
Reggie Yates has been spilling the beans on his TV buddies and telling fans what the coaches on The Voice are really like behind the scenes.
The radio DJ hosts the BBC show, alongside Holly Willoughby and after filming most of his second series earlier this year, we’d say that he’s gotten to know Jessie J, Tom Jones, Danny O’Donoghue and will.i.am pretty well.
Fans of The Voice will know that it’s headed back to the BBC on Saturday at 7pm for its second series, and as has been widely reported, the show has undergone a revamp and an overhaul to make it “more exciting” for viewers.
And today, presenter Reggie Yates, who of course co-hosts alongside Holly Willoughby, has teased what’s ahead in series two, saying, “I can’t reveal too many of the details because I don’t want to get in trouble, but the twists are great.
“The audience at the shows we’ve filmed so far have been blown away… Read more & comment »
Jessie J was branded a ‘diva’ on the first series of The Voice but Reggie Yates has defended his pal, insisting that she does not throw her weight around backstage.
It was claimed last year that the ‘Domino’ hitmaker was repeatedly late for filming and had a huge entourage in tow everywhere she went. Speaking to Now magazine Reggie opened up about Jessie’s honesty and insisted that she is truthful but not rude and certainly not a diva on the set of the BBC series.
The Radio DJ explained:
Reggie Yates seems determined to create some controversy surrounding The Voice and the TV presenter has been at it again in the newspapers this weekend.
We knew last year that he wasn’t a fan of rival TV series The X Factor and he has driven that point home in a recent interview, in which he blasts the ITV creation for being staged and ‘fake.’
As fans of The Voice will know, in its debut series earlier this year, DJ Reggie Yates co-presented the show alongside Holly Willoughby, however, it seems he’s not sure yet if he’ll return in the second outing of the show.
Describing being part of the talent quest show, Reggie said it had been an “incredible experience” and added, “I watched the show in the US and absolutely loved it, so when I was asked to be in the British version I was over the moon.
“We’ll see what happens [next year].”
Before it was revealed that all four The Voice UK coaches – Sir Tom Jones, Jessie J, Will.i.am and Danny O’Donoghue – were returning for a second run, Reggie had remarked, “For all we know it might be exactly the same people, so we’ll have to see.” Read more & comment »
