However, New Idea is told Guy is at “breaking point” after he was left “carrying the season” during filming earlier this year.
According to an on-set spy, new coaches Rita Ora, Jessica Mauboy and Keith Urban were “completely green” when it came to the filming and coaching process, and left Guy “bringing the TV magic” to the show.
“Guy was exhausted – he felt he was one of the only ones taking it seriously,” says a source.
Despite Keith appearing on the first-ever season in 2012, the insider says it took some work to bring him, Jess and Rita up to speed on how best to play coach.
“Guy delivers in a few sentences what it takes others five minutes to say – he’s a pro!” the source adds.

“There is so much competition and so many ways where everyone is able to get their artistry out there, which is fantastic, but sometimes it can get lost in the wash,” Guy said.
“So a show like The Voice enables you to spotlight some artists who you believe in.”
