Tom Jones slams Simon Cowell for making TV talent shows too harsh and says he took it 'too far' with comments to contestants


The Voice coach, 84, took a swipe at the Britain's Got Talent judge's approach to contestants and told MailOnline: 'Well those kinds of talent shows take it too far. Simon Cowell has done that.'

The Sex Bomb singer and Welsh legend will return to his position as a coach on The Voice UK for his thirteenth year as the longest-running panellist with the US Black Eyed Peas rapper, Will.i.am. MailOnline can reveal the 84-year-old's technique to remain energetic while touring and on television appearances is to sleep whenever he can, eat two meals a day and tape up his mouth at night to protect his vocal cords from the air conditioning. As a new judge, Ms Rimes told MailOnline that the biggest challenge on the show was getting new singers to have stage presence, as it's been completely lost in the digital world.
