- Liberty X singer Kevin Simm, who won The Voice UK in 2016, has criticised the talent competition as a “waste of time”.
- Simm questioned why the ITV show remains on air, adding: “It never does anything for the winners. Why is it still on television?”
- Despite his critique, Simm became lead singer of Wet Wet Wet in 2018 and is set to tour with Liberty X for their forthcoming reunion.
