I Can See Your Voice viewers were left in hysterics as a contestant didn’t label Amanda Holden as a professional singer.
The 50-year-old defended her professional singer status during an awkward moment on I Can See Your Voice this Saturday.
Brothers Joe and Daniel from Middlesbrough hoped to eliminate all the bad singers to win £10,000.
The judges were debating whether they thought Jailhouse Rocker was a good singer or fooling them.
But the moment soon turned bitter.
The contestant asked Amanda: “If you want to be a professional singer…”
Amanda replied: “I AM a professional singer!”
Jimmy Carr chimed in saying: “I’ll stop you there, she had a number one album last year.”
He added: “I’m just mentioning that because I don’t want her to have to mention it again.”
Amanda said: “Thank you, Jimmy!”
Viewers revelled in the awkwardness.
The brothers won £10,000 as they guessed Jailhouse Rocker was a good singer.
Jimmy was proven right as he guessed Jailhouse Rocker was just nervous during the interrogation round and was a good singer.
Alison Hammond also agreed and said: “to pull out those answers just like that is very stressful. I believe him.”
However, guest judge Alexandra Burke was sceptical as his music choices varied from Stevie Wonder to Bruno Mars and said: “To flip from Motown to Bruno Mars confused me so much!”
Jailhouse Rocker sang a beautiful duet with Alexandra to Whitney’s Houston’s I Have Nothing.
His real name was Pete Green and he is a prison officer who has done over 300 gigs.
He once supported Beverley Knight.
I Can See Your Voice is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
