Louis Walsh says he "hates" The Voice UK, criticises will.i.am

X Factor judge Louis Walsh has given The Voice UK a verbal dressing down, proclaiming that he "hates" it.

Speaking to heat, the Irishman called the UK version of the show "boring" and suggested that the US one is far superior.

The show has been in a constant battle with Simon Cowell's other UK programme Britain's Got Talent and Walsh reckons BGT deserves to win the ratings war. He said:

"I hate The Voice. I think everyone thought The Voice UK would be like the US version, and it's not. It's dull and boring. I'm glad BGT is winning the ratings battle - it's much better."

Walsh also took time to criticise The Voice coach will.i.am, suggesting his band Black Eyed Peas is nothing without singer Fergie. He said:

"What's that man's real name anyway? It's not will.i.am, is it? He thinks he's got all the answers, but if he didn't have Fergie in the band, where would he be? Fergie is the real star. I would love her on The X Factor, and to be a judge on the show."
