“Kids know how to play. When was the last time as adults we were like: ‘Yo, let’s go outside and play!’”

London-born singer Paloma Faith has also worked as a coach on the main series of the voice, back in 2016. So, how does The Voice Kids compare?

“I prefer it,” says the 38-yearold, who is also an actress, having recently starred as the villain in TV series Pennyworth.

“I’m having the time of my life. I feel like the main show gave me a lot of anxiety, but this gives me pure joy in bucketloads. You see it with your own eyes, how growing up and becoming an adult gives us inhibition, self-doubt... But we all, at some point when we were kids, had a purity and our talents could really shine.”

“I feel like it’s about not patronising them, so just saying: ‘Take a breath, you’re brilliant’. It’s about encouragement, it’s not about drawing attention to it because kids are really aware of embarrassment and stuff.” The Voice Kids returns to STV tonight, 7.25pm.
