Jimmy Carr makes cheeky jibe about Cheryl’s singing ability

Jimmy Carr makes cheeky jibe about Cheryl’s singing ability as he claims she ‘knows about lip-syncing’ while talking to her bandmate Nadine Coyle on I Can See Your Voice


Jimmy Carr is set to poke fun at Cheryl’s singing ability during the forthcoming episode of I Can See Your Voice, in scenes set to air on Saturday.

The comedian, 48, is one of the judges on the new BBC game show which sees the stars help contestants guess which of the vocalists is a good singer without listening to their voice, instead watching them mime to tracks amongst other things.

He made a jibe about Cheryl’s singing ability to her fellow Girls Aloud bandmate Nadine Coyle, who is set to be a guest musician on the show, saying it was a shame Cheryl, 37, wasn’t making an appearance as she ‘knows about lip-syncing’.

According to a report from The Sun on Tuesday, Jimmy quipped: ‘I’m disappointed that Nadine’s here. I thought if we wanted someone that knows about lip-syncing, we should have got Cheryl.’

Nadine responded by saying they’d ‘only just started the show’, while host Paddy McGuinness said he was ‘very naughty’.

Jimmy was unfazed by their remarks, however, as he simply replied: ‘I start as I mean to go on, she’ll be alright.’

Earlier this month, Jimmy said his fellow judge Amanda Holden is ‘pure filth’ on set of their new game show.

The TV star has revealed the blonde beauty had to be censored by the BBC during filming for I Can See Your Voice, admitting her comments were simply too rude for the pre-watershed show.

He shared: ‘Amanda Holden is a tiny, petite little thing and she looks very fancy, but she’s got the mouth of a trucker. She’s pure filth. We had to edit round her with this show.’

By contrast, the stand-up star insisted he was on his best behaviour during filming. 

He told the Daily Star newspaper: ‘It’s a slightly different side of me. It’s a very friendly show. It’s very joyful. ‘I was dancing around and having a great time.’ 

I Can See Your Voice follows two players going head to head to win a cash prize by guessing if the mystery singers standing before them can or can’t sing, without hearing them perform a single note. 

Paddy takes centre stage to present the musical competition, while Jimmy is on a panel with Amanda and Alison Hammond.
