Paloma Faith has revealed she turned down an offer from the BBC to be a judge on The Voice UK.

The singer told the Daily Star that she was asked to replace former judge Jessie J on the show.

Paloma explained: “Yes they did offer me The Voice, but I didn’t feel it was right.

“I don’t like the idea of eliminating people because I don’t feel confident enough about my own abilities to judge anybody else.”

The position later went to Aussie superstar Kylie Minogue, with the show scoring high ratings, regularly hitting eight million viewers.
