Filming is yet to get underway for the 2018 season of The Voice but new coach Joe Jonas is already ready to ruffle some feathers.

Speaking about his newly announced appointment on the Channel Nine reality series, the 28-year-old admitted he may not get along with fellow judge Boy George.

In an interview with Today Extra on Thursday, Joe said there may be some clashes once the show begins.

'You know I think we're probably going to butt heads a little bit,' the D.N.C.E singer told hosts David Campbell and Sonia Kruger.

Though acknowledging the likelihood of the two men going head to head, Joe divulged he has a lot of respect for the Culture Club star.

'I'm excited. I'm a huge fan of Boy George but when it comes to competition, it's hard for me to be beat,' Joe added.

The eldest Jonas brother was also confident in his ability to win the singing competition with one of his contestants.

Joe explained that he had met fellow coaches Delta Goodrem and Kelly Rowland previously and was looking forward to coming face to face with Boy George, but wasn't letting that get in the way of victory.

'Obviously being in the same room as Boy George is going to be very special but I'm going to feel bad once they lose,' Joe said.

'You know I know they've won a couple, you know Delta's won and I know there's chips on their shoulders but the new kid on the block is coming in strong.'

Joe, whose younger brother Nick once dated Delta, also let slip that his fiancée Sophie Turner may be headed Down Under as well.

He told David and Sonia that it was likely the Game Of Thrones star would make the trip to Sydney to visit him while filming was underway.

The US singer also took to social media to announce his new gig, writing: 'So excited to finally announce that I’m joining @TheVoiceAU on @Channel9 as the 4th Coach! I’m coming for you, Australia!'
