Olly put his foot down
Pop singer Olly Murs has revealed that his mother is banned from the set of The Voice UK after a ‘frisky’ encounter with Sir Tom Jones. In a short break from singing auditions the judges were having a chat when Olly confessed that his mum, Vicky-Lynn Pollard, was banned from visiting him on the show after she got a bit fresh with the Welsh singing legend.
“She kissed me,” confessed Tom, as the audience giggled.
The judges, Will.i.am, Anne-Marie, Olly and Tom were talking about their mothers and the singer and producer, Will said his mother couldn’t believe her son was going to work with Sir Tom way back in 2012 when they started on The Voice.
Olly then chipped in with “My mum used to come to The Voice, but…. I said she couldn’t come any more.”
“Why?” said Anne-Marie and Tom confessed with Olly adding; “She’s banned!”
Tonight saw the fifth round of Blind Auditions in the sixth series of The Voice UK on ITV. Earlier in the series Treforest-born Tom moved the audience to tears Sir Tom gave a moving performance of his song, ‘I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall’ with co-star Anne Marie saying: “I think that was one of the best moments of my life”.
The 82-year-old went on to reveal what inspired the song. “My wife was dying of lung cancer,” he choked up and said. “I was always able to fix stuff you know? I was always able to do things if she needed me for anything, I was always there but she said ‘You can’t crumble with me. Don’t fall with me. You must carry on and do what you do.”
