The battle between Simon Cowell's "shiny floor" franchises – The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent – and the BBC's pretender to the throne The Voice has hit a new low, reports the Sun. Simon Cowell has "banned" David Walliams – a judge on BGT which launches this weekend – from going to see The Voice. The newspaper says Walliams was keen to attend one of the live shows of The Voice with his mum, as he likes that sort of thing and often attends Strictly Come Dancing. "Simon is gunning for The Voice," says a source.
