The Voice coach Danny O’Donoghue has admitted that he will miss Jessie J following reports she has quit the BBC talent show.

The Script frontman, who has already stated that he wants to return for next year’s second series, told The People that they had built up a great rapport:

“I’m really sad she’s not coming back.­ We have a great friendship.”

The 31-year-old, who also denied rumours he is dating one of his contestants, Bo Bruce, went on to add that the 'Price Tag' star wasn’t the backstage nightmare the press suggested:

“She wasn’t a diva at all. I have never seen her throw tantrums.

“Jessie is incredibly articulate and she’s headstrong. That sometimes can be misconstrued as being too arrogant.

“But she’s a brilliant role model for young ­women.”
