BECKY Hill has taken a swipe at The Voice bosses as she opened up about how she has missed out on becoming a coach on the show.
The Loose Control singer, 32, shot to fame on the first series of the ITV show back in 2012 when she was 18-years-old.
The current series of The Voice is airing on our screens, with coaches Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am, Kelly Rowland, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones.
Capital FM host Jimmy Hill was interested to know if Becky would ever return to the singing programme after it was revealed Sir Tom was axed last month.
Jimmy asked her: “Would you ever go on The Voice as a coach?”
Becky replied: “I don’t think the show would have me on.”
She continued: “Because I had an interview with them a few years ago because they were having a fifth chair.
“And in the interview I said well I’m the only success story from The Voice and there is a reason for that because you have talented people on your show.
“You make a TV show out of them, and then you don’t help them out afterwards.
“I remember being 18 and having to knock on so many doors when I was that age, but there were so many people on that show in my year, that were contestants that didn’t have that experience, kind of came off the show feeling like they had a normal job.
“They were then shoved on TV in front of 12 million people and then they were just spat back out.
“And I would wonder whether me saying to The Voice I would like to help artists. I don’t just want to be employed to be like ‘When it was me, I know how you feel’.
“Because I know that that’s what they’re going to try and get me to do.
“I would love to help people out and make people into, introduce them to people.
“Never got a callback. So I don’t think it’s a case of ‘Would you do The Voice?’
“I think it’s a question of would The Voice do me?”
When Becky appeared on The Voice in 2012 the show aired on BBC One and was presented by Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates.
The coaches were will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones, Jessie J and Danny O’Donoghue.
The series was won by Leanne Mitchell.
The Voice has now aired 14 series since then and it recently hit headlines after it was revealed that Sir Tom Jones was axed.
A source told us at the time “ITV absolutely love Sir Tom and they’re working very hard behind the scenes to make this work.”
The Sun previously revealed rapper Aitch was to replace McFly duo Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher, who are leaving the show.
Former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl is also set to make her primetime TV comeback as a coach, while rapper will.i.am is returning with Kelly Rowland.
A source said: “Everyone loves Sir Tom but there was a feeling that the upcoming series needed a major refresh.
“With Aitch and Cheryl coming on board and Kelly returning with will.i.am, there just wasn’t a seat going.”
Becky is best known for songs such as Remember, Crazy What Love Can Do, Gecko (Overdrive) and Wish You Well.
