Olly Murs has cleared up speculation that he is 'feuding' with Simon Cowell.
There have been rumours that the 2009 X Factor finalist isn't on the best of terms with his former mentor – but that actually couldn't be further from the truth.
Speaking to Now magazine, The Voice UK coach Olly said that the pair "get on great".
"It's just silly," he commented when asked about the rumours, "but I can see why – because it's The X Factor vs. The Voice. At ITV, it's not like that. We're just one big happy family.
"When I first started on The X Factor, Simon was my mentor and he gave me this amazing career, but he's never told me what to do on a day-to-day basis.
"I don't ring Simon and say, 'Is it okay if I go into work today?' He's not my boss.

"I haven't got any ties to The X Factor. If anything, I'm like everyone else – I have to contact The X Factor every year and tell them I've got a new single and I'd love to perform it on the show, and they let me know what they think.
"Simon and I get on great, and I've got so much respect for him and The X Factor. But I had to make a decision for my career, and The Voice is a great show."
In the same interview, Olly said that he would love to return to The Voice UK for its next series.
"I really hope they'll ask me back next season," he said. "I 100% want to be here next year."
