Former X Factor finalist Aiden Grimshaw has told budding performers to choose The X Factor over The Voice UK.

Aiden, who was booted out in the live shows of The X Factor back in 2010, claimed that auditions for the rival BBC One series were ‘fixed’.

In an interview with the Daily Star Sunday today, the performer suggested: “You couldn’t just turn up, so the auditions are a bit fixed.

“X Factor gives people more opportunity. I wouldn’t have had a sniff at their [The Voice UK] auditions.

“They’d never have found me at Pizza Hut. I doubt their search extends that far.”

However open auditions for The Voice UK will be taking place this autumn for the new series, which is set to air on BBC One in the Spring.

They openly admitted to scouting/inviting people to audition from the get go - not to mention The headline is misleading.

Is this not also the case for the X Factor - correct me if I am wrong but do they also not get people through A&R and recommendation - for example Leona Lewis?

Seems a bit two faced to criticise the Voice over an open and known policy while the X Factor sneaks them in the back door.
