"Ricky Wilson on The Voice? Could this show stoop any lower??" wrote Russler.
Nathan Evans revealed he was a fan of neither Wilson or the BBC talent show, saying: "Ricky Wilson a judge on the programme Voice, both go together as they both shit and annoying! I predict a riot on your face mate!!"
Meanwhile Michael Keating questioned Wilson's artistic integrity, taking to Twitter to ask: "Ricky Wilson is joining The Voice as a judge. Whatever happened to indie integrity? At what point did the artistic soul become meaningless?"
"Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs) is a new judge on The Voice.....that either lends the show some credibility, or takes away from his..." said Dan Suttle.
