Speaking to Capital FM, Will explained: "I reached out to Cheryl for advice on keeping your cool, having a poker face, the importance of sticking with the singers – it's their dream,
"A lot of the times when you have other performers a part of the show, celebrities tend to want the shine so they hog up time. So my whole thing was that I want to do The Voice, but I don't want to hog up time to where the singers up there are looking like, 'Is this about you guys?'
"I don't want to be that guy, so I asked Cheryl for advice because I liked her personality on The X Factor. "
When quizzed if the Girls Aloud singer told him to accept the job, the Boom Boom Pow rapper replied: "No, but she encouraged, she played a role in the decision.
"Her information that she gave me was inspirational. Her perspective and experience inspired me."
Earlier this week, reports suggested that Cheryl will debut her new solo single on The Voice, over her former boss Simon Cowell's show, Britain's Got Talent.
