Marvin Humes and his wife Rochelle have "friendly" fights over whether 'The Voice' is better than 'The X Factor.'
The former JLS singer - who has presented the BBC One show for the past three years - has admitted there is gentle tension between himself and his spouse, who hosts the ITV singing show's spin-off 'The Xtra Factor', when the two programmes go head-to-head in the famous ratings war.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "There's always friendly rivalry between me and my wife."
However, the handsome star - who shot into the limelight after competing on 'The X Factor' in 2008 - has admitted he is a huge fan of his rival show and will always support it.
He explained: "In all seriousness, I'm from 'The X Factor', I'm a fan of the show, I watch it all the time. It's given my wife a job. But of course, 'The Voice' is my home now and I'm very proud of the show, very proud to be a part of it."
Meanwhile, 'The Voice' is set to return to television screens on January 9 for its last ever series on BBC One after ITV poached it for 2017 in a deal worth an estimated £33 million.
And, although Marvin is keen to continue hosting the popular programme after its shift, the star understands if show bosses decide to let go of him and his co-host Emma Willis.
He added: "I'd love to stay on the show but of course change is inevitable. This show has changed every series, be it
presenters, coaches, if we were not to come back for series six on ITV then we've had a great three years and I've loved it. And I get it that change has to happen."

will.i.am didn't like how Sir Tom Jones was sacked from 'The Voice' last year - but he won't air the BBC's "dirty laundry."
The Black Eyed Peas star, 40 - who previously admitted he felt lost without his former colleague after he was dropped in favour of Boy George for series five - didn't "like" the way bosses handled the changeover, but he's adamant he won't go as far as to reveal his true feelings on the touchy matter.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "There's a lot of changes that have happened and the way it was done I don't like. This is a family so for you to come into my house and to say, 'Hey, show me where your dirty laundry's at', I can't show people's underwear. So this is a family, even being on the BBC it's a family, so how things were handled we know wasn't the best but I can't tell you how I feel about it."
However, Brit Award winner Paloma Faith, who joined the panel for the forthcoming series as a replacement for Rita Ora, doesn't feel too bad for the 'It's Not Unusual' singer, 75, because she thinks he has "other fish to fry."
She explained: "We all agreed that Sir Tom Jones has also got other fish to fry and has been frying for his whole career and is still going to be frying.
"He's going to be fine, I don't think Tom needs 'The Voice' to have a career, he's an incredible human being, so he knows that, everybody here does. It's a separate thing."
Meanwhile, 'The Voice' will return to screens on Saturday (09.01.16) on BBC One as will.i.am, Paloma, Boy George and Ricky Wilson go in search for the next big superstar.

During an interview on 'Lorraine' this morning (04.01.16), Jonathan spoke about his relationship with Kim and her famous siblings.

Axed 'Hollyoaks' star Stephanie David used to guzzle down booze to help block out the "stress" of her life.
The 22-year-old actress was dropped by the Channel 4 show last year following allegations she used to turn up to set drunk but, although she has admitted she did occasionally go out partying the night before work, she's adamant she never stumbled in late stinking of alcohol.
She explained: "I did go into work after a night out once or twice, but who hasn't done that? I just wanted to be a normal girl and alcohol was a way for me to relax.
"That was all exaggerated and blown out of proportion. There was once or twice where I went in after a night out, but I was never drunk. I was enjoying a glass of wine because it helped me forget about the stress of work and pressures of being in this industry."
The beauty - who played loudmouth Sinead O'Connor in the soap for six years - believes she first became reliant on the bottle to block out her stress a few years ago when she sadly lost her grandmother and broke up with her boyfriend.
She said: "I went through a really tough time a few years ago where I did rely on it (alcohol) a bit, but that was when I was unhappy in a relationship."
However, Stephanie, who is rumoured to be joining 'Celebrity Big Brother tomorrow night (05.01.16), believes she's in a much better place since turning her back on 'Hollyoaks' and finding love with her new beau Sam Reece.
Explaining her ideal night now she's in a new relationship, she told OK! magazine: "I'm settled so I prefer staying in with Sam and watching a film with a bottle of wine."

Victoria Derbyshire has been using a wig after losing her hair during her chemotherapy sessions for breast cancer.
The 46-year-old journalist, who was diagnosed with the disease last July, has admitted she's struggling to deal with her thinning mane and has been reliant on fake locks during her presenting gigs over the past month in a bid to hide it.
Speaking in a video diary, recorded six days after her second round of treatment last month, the talented presenter slipped off her brunette wig to reveal her thin tresses, before turning to the camera and saying: "I'm finding this hard."
She added: "One of the things that I'm finding difficult to come to terms with is losing my hair.
"I would say I have lost about 30-50 per cent of it."
The thought of wearing a wig previously "horrified" Victoria and she believes losing her hair affected her more than undergoing a mastectomy to remove her breast.
But she has since come to terms with it and now feels "comfortable" wearing the locks over top of her real hair.
She said: "When I started wearing a wig a few weeks ago I didn't tell anyone at work I was wearing one, because I needed a little time to adjust to it myself. I can confirm I'm now fully adjusted to it and so feel comfortable in being totally open about it. The point is it lets me crack on and get on with things - which is absolutely great."
The occasional 'Newsnight' presenter - who underwent cold capping twice in a bid to prevent her hair from falling out - has three chemotherapy sessions and a series of radiotherapy left before her treatment ends in the spring.
The mother-of-two - who is planning to share her experience through her video diaries - suspects she'll lose even more of her hair and has also started to lose parts of her eyebrows.

Charlotte Crosby has split from Gary 'Gaz' Beadle.
The 'Geordie Shore' star, 25, has dumped the reality TV hunk, with whom she's had a turbulent on/off relationship for years, after realising over the festive period that a committed romance with him isn't one she wants to pursue anymore.
Speaking on 'This Morning' today (04.01.16), she said of their relationship: "Yeah I'm single; we spent some time together over Christmas, it was nice but I don't think I want to go back there again, I don't want it anymore."
And, despite Gaz, 27, claiming their love was the real deal after being slapped with criticism last month, Charlotte has hinted that them going their separate ways is for good now.
She added: "I think it's over now."
The split comes less than four weeks after they confirmed they were giving their relationship another shot following their passionate smooch during a night out in London.
Gaz said at the time: "We've been stuck in the house for so many years and spent so much time with each other, we just needed to spend some time with each other with no cameras and no pressure, no one around us, so it kind of feels like last night was a first date but it wasn't."
However, one person who will be happy to learn of the break-up is Gaz' ex-girlfriend Lillie Lexie Gregg, who he dumped in November, as she was convinced his relationship with Charlotte was purely for publicity.

will.i.am reportedly threw a tantrum during the audition stages of 'The Voice' over the increase of "joke acts."
The 40-year-old show mentor, who has featured on the panel since it started three years ago, allegedly had a strop during filming recently because he hates how some of the contestants this year aren't taking the competition seriously.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Will was clearly unimpressed with some of the acts who he felt weren't serious. By the end of the session, he was really annoyed.
"He kept saying to people in his entourage, 'I don't want this show to be a joke but these acts are only here for a joke'.
"He takes the show very seriously, which is just one of the reasons he is such a good coach and mentor for the contestants. But he obviously didn't believe in the singers he was hearing, so for the most part, his chair remained facing the back wall and he was not happy afterwards."
Meanwhile, although he's angry at the lack of talent this forthcoming series, the Black Eyed Peas singer is adamant the programme will find its "superstar" one day.
He said recently: "You need proper timing in the market for people. Nowadays it is so much noise and you have to stay at it. When you ask, 'Have we found a superstar yet?' -- we will, it's just going to take time."
'The Voice' will return to screens on Saturday night (09.01.16) on BBC One as judges Boy George, Paloma Faith, Ricky Wilson and will.i.am hunt for the next star.

Kim Kardashian West has confirmed her friend Jonathan Cheban is set to take part in 'Celebrity Big Brother.'
The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star, 34, can't wait to see what the PR guru will get up to in the infamous house when the Channel 5 show hits screens tomorrow night (05.01.16) as she thinks he'll be absolutely "hysterical."
Taking to her Twitter account last night (03.01.15), the beauty wrote in a, since deleted, tweet: "OMGGGG I can't believe @JonathanCheban is doing celeb Big Brother UK. I'm dying to see this! He's going to be hysterical!!!! (sic)."
Kim's tweet of support for her best pal, 41, comes after rumours began to swirl suggesting she and her mother Kris Jenner, 60, had tried to persuade Jonathan not to join the programme out of fear he'd expose their family secrets.
A source said recently: "Kim and her mum took Jonathan to one side and had a heartfelt chat, promising to make him a bigger character on their [E!] show with more prominent storylines ...
"They're worried about how he'll be portrayed and how interactions with gobby British housemates will go down."
Meanwhile, Jonathan will be sharing the crazy house with dancing beauty Kristina Rihanoff, former 'The Only Way Is Essex' loudmouth Gemma Collins and actress Danniella Westbrook after they were confirmed over the weekend.
Controversial 'X Factor' finalist Christopher Maloney, David Gest, ex 'Hollyoaks' actress Stephanie Davis and former 'EastEnders' actor John Partridge are also set to take part.

Georgia May Foote reportedly dumped her boyfriend after a series of blazing rows over her close bond with her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner Giovanni Pernice.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress, 24, decided to end her relationship with Sean Ward recently after he "pushed her away" due to the connection she'd developed with the dancing professional during her time on the show last year.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Georgia was very fond of Sean and she cared for him deeply, but he found it difficult to get over the close friendship she had with Giovanni. It was Sean who pushed Georgia away, he didn't feel secure in their relationship and it led to huge rows."
The heated arguments reportedly led to the brunette beauty breaking down in tears backstage at the show on numerous occasions and taking comfort from her handsome partner.
The insider added: "Georgia would regularly be in floods of tears backstage. Giovanni was trying to be a good friend."
Rumours Georgia had split from Sean first began to swirl over the weekend when she and Giovanni were spotted sharing a smooch during a romantic trip to Disneyland.
An onlooker said recently: "I couldn't believe it when I saw them together. They looked like a very happy couple. They were laughing and joking and holding hands.
"It seems very strange she would come here with Giovanni after Sean said they were still together and that he wasn't worried. I feel sorry for him."
