'Seal is more sensitive than he comes across': The Voice coach has been taking Boy George's fiery comments 'personally' after the Culture Club singer 'lashed out' at him
He may put on a hardened, no nonsense front on The Voice.
But on Monday, it was revealed Seal has feelings, just like everyone else.
Following a fiery feud with in which Culture Club sensation Boy George slammed his 'ego' on Sunday night's episode, The Fix has revealed that the 54-year-old is a 'sensitive' soul, who's been taking the comments to heart.

Ouch! The fiery feud between The Voice coaches Seal, 54 and Boy George last week has sparked the revelation that 'sensitive' Seal is in fact 'taking the comments personally'
'Seal is more sensitive than he comes across. He's been taking some of George's comments seriously,' a source told the publication.
'Seal doesn't like the way George sometimes tries to diffuse his critique of the artists, like when Seal said the young country singer's performance wasn't good enough, and George then offered to fly him to Nashville.'
Continuing, the source claimed that the pair's fiery feud was definitely 'genuine.'
Furthering the delicate singer's angst is the fact that despite years on the UK music scene, they are in fact practically strangers.

It appears that hearing such pointed criticism from a new coach who had a one-in-four shot of becoming his new best friend forever has worsened the soul-crushing blow.
'I don't think people realise these two don’t really know each other,' the publication's source said, 'They'd only met once before they came onto The Voice, so they are still trying to feel each other out.'
The revelation comes as the dust settles from a intense verbal sparring on the singing contest last week, as they fought to secure rugged tradie Rennie Adams, 31, on their respective teams.

Seal always says this like he's the only one up here that can do that,' Boy George stated, trying to poach Rennie from Seal.
'But you know, we're all capable of doing that, do you know what I mean? It's actually about what you can do,' the British icon continued.
'There's a lot of ego up here and that's just Seal,' he later added.

'Be very careful,' Seal hit back, to which Boy George stated: 'Don't threaten me, babe.
'Apparently I've gotta be careful. That's never gonna happen, love. Never. I helped you win him - you should be thanking me, not getting upset.
'I pushed him into your arms,' he finished.
The judges then had to be separated after the tense televised moment.
