Holly Willoughby has joked that she’s 'in love' with Jessie J after working alongside her on The Voice.

The Celebrity Juice star, who is co-hosting the new BBC talent show with Reggie Yates, is currently filming its early stages with judges Tom Jones, will.i.am and The Script’s Danny O’Donoghue, but told the Daily Star it’s the ‘Domino’ hit-maker who has impressed her the most:

“Jessie J is incredible. I’m in love with her.

“She has such an amazing energy and whenever she’s around everybody kind of raises their game. It’s going to be an incredible series.”

In an interview with the same paper, O’Donoghue also claims that the show will blow their ITV rival The X-Factor out of the water:

“I’m so excited about it, I’m like a giddy kid. The quality of talent on the show is unbelievable.

“There aren’t any novelty acts. And there are lots of people who have auditioned who’ve said they wouldn’t audition for X Factor for fear of being ridiculed.”
