The level of talent is always so high, did any of the coaches surprise you with their choices?

Sometimes they do, it’s really hard for them as the level of talent is always so good. I think it’s almost harder with the kids though - there’s so many different things to consider, not only is there the cute factor but also a 7 year olds voice will be different to a 14 year olds, for example. So there’s a bit more that goes into it and deciding who gets a turn but, at the end of the day, it’s just what each of the coaches are looking for and what touches them!

It might not be the perfect sounding voice or you might hear nerves in it but that performance may have really made them feel something.

Were there any standout moments for you and if yes why?

I always feel really lucky in this job because you get to share a family’s excitement. You are allowed into their world and get to share in their hopes and dreams.

What do you think kids learn going through this process?

I think they learn quite a lot from an industry point of view. They get to know what it is like to be in a TV studio and what it is like to work through songs and how to change them. But they also learn to have fun with it and they are encouraged so much by the coaches that they shouldn't stress and that this isn’t make or break. It’s this really enjoyable experience where you get a little snapshot into something you love and something that they may be living one day.

There are times I have stressed out and worried about going onto the stage and I think if I had a glimpse of what the kids do, it wouldn’t intimidate me so much as I got older so it’s a good confidence building exercise as well.

Do you find yourself getting super emotional?

Always, I get really emotional at the kids because they are just so cute. You are willing them on and they just take it all so well. I think the kids really do take the nos much better than the adults do. But there tends to be a lot more riding on it for the adults.

Have you spotted a star in the making?

Loads, absolutely loads! They still have so much time ahead of them so I think we will definitely see a lot of them in the future. They just need to keep persevering and I have no doubt they will.

Tell us a bit about each judge, what are each one looking for?

They all get on brilliantly, but they all want to win. I don’t care if they say they don’t want to win, they do! So they’re on the look out for a winner but I don’t think they look for a particular genre or a style, they just want someone who sounds amazing and takes you on a journey. Someone who makes you feel the emotion of the song and captivates you when you are watching them. So an all around entertainer, I think.
