"The X Factor&amp;#039;s Louis Walsh has hit out at his BBC rivals The Voice UK. The judge told Heat that he was happy Simon Cowell&amp;#039;s Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent had been pipping The Voice in the ratings.   &amp;quot;I hate The Voice,&amp;quot; Walsh said. &amp;quot;I think everyone thought The Voice UK would be like the US version, and it&amp;#039;s not. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s dull and boring. I&amp;#039;m glad BGT is winning the ratings battle - it&amp;#039;s much better.&amp;quot; Asked if he would ever be a coach on The Voice, he replied: &amp;quot;No way, it&amp;#039;s not great TV. It&amp;#039;s like Fame Academy all those years ago. &amp;quot;The best thing about it are the revolving chairs, and once you&amp;#039;ve seen that, the novelty wears off.&amp;quot; Walsh dismissed The Voice&amp;#039;s will.i.am as &amp;quot;ridiculous&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s that man&amp;#039;s real name anyway? It&amp;#039;s not will.i.am, is it? &amp;quot;He thinks he&amp;#039;s got all the answers, but if he didn&amp;#039;t have Fergie in the band, where would he be?  &amp;quot;Fergie is the real star. I would love her on The X Factor, and to be a judge on the show.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;The X Factor is the biggest show on TV and the other shows are just copying us with their silly chairs. &amp;quot;Simon Cowell is the king of TV and if he&amp;#039;s not involved then it&amp;#039;s not good.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
