Ricky Wilson has admitted that the producers of The Voice UK are scared he will swear on the live shows.
The coach told Magic Radio that "emotions are running high" during the final phase of the competition, meaning he isn't always in control of what comes out of his mouth.
He said: "[The producers] don't like me talking that much during the live shows, because they're worried I might swear.
"Emotions are running high and usually I'm in that state when I will say anything that comes in my head. If I'm talking to people on the stage and telling them what I feel I have to stop myself from saying things like, 'Ah that was f**king awesome'."

As you might know, The Voice UK returns this weekend - and with it are a whole host of brand new blind auditions! Now, we love a good blind audition, so the show's return got us thinking about some of our favourites. Below, we bring you just 12 but we couldn't include everything, so get in the comments and let us know your favourites...
1. Max Milner
Max Milner ended up being one of our favourite Voice contestants in the first series - and not just because of the relish with which Danny O'Donoghue said his name. This was on the very first episode of The Voice UK and instantly got us interested, as Max skilfully combined 'Come Together' and 'Lose Yourself' in a mash-up that isn't just a gimmick. He's great - and Danny attempting to rap along adds some laughs, too.
2. Vince Kidd
We've all heard 'Like A Virgin' a gazillion times.

Speaking at the show's launch yesterday, Ricky Wilson explained that he is still in touch with all of the acts from his team last year.
"I think they're all having a better time than they were before they went on the show and that's a testament to the show itself really," he said. "It might not be churning out superstars to bridge the gap until the next series, but I think that's a good thing.
"I think over the next few years, you'll start seeing people bringing out records and having hits that you'll go, 'Where have I seen them before? Oh, they were on The Voice'. When they're on Graham Norton and he goes, 'Do you remember this?' he'll show a clip of The Voice."

You've got to feel a bit sorry for Jermain Jackman. When he was announced as the winner of The Voice 2014 - to much confetti and fanfare - the overwhelming reaction was one of, well, surprise. He wasn't the Digital Spy favourite (Christina Marie). He wasn't the bookies' favourite (Sally Barker). But he was the winner.
Now that the dust has settled a little, though, could Jermain actually be just the winner that The Voice needs? We've heard plenty of slightly mean-spirited snark about how The Voice is yet to produce a star - Leanne Mitchell and Andrea Begley, the first two champions, have so far failed to set the charts alight.
The Voice's future is secure, at least for now - two more series have been ordered by the BBC - but its credibility could begin to be questioned if it doesn't start spinning out successes soon. This is...

Oh, he does like leaving it to the last minute, doesn't he? will.i.am - yet again - was the last coach standing on The Voice, but his persistence paid off as once more he put together a strong team of singers. But who is your favourite?
