Actor Darren McMullen has denied rumours that there has been ongoing tension between him and his co-host of The Voice, Nine’s top-rating singing show, Sonia Kruger.
The speculation of rivalry was sparked by reports in New Idea magazine claiming that Darren is ‘over’ sharing the stage with Sonia, as he was under the impression she would only be doing backstage interviews.

‘That’s not the way it’s panned out and he is over it. He’s getting less time on camera, doing less publicity and he’s not hiding his disappointment, an inside source told the magazine.
But Darren has fired back at the claims, confirming that it’s all rumours. ‘You just laugh about it, we’ll probably be dating next week … in fact, let’s start that. It’s sexual tension.’ He joked on a radio interview. ‘I’ve had a crush on Sonia since she was Tina Sparkle’.
If you weren’t convinced, Channel Nine have released a personality test from Sonia and Darren, each revealing some surprising, and some not-so-surprising, quirks from the duo.
Sonia has revealed that her middle name is Melissa, and that her spirit animal is a Meerkat. Darren, on the other hand, identifies himself as a ‘performing Seal’. Well played.
The two revealed just how well they know each other when they were quizzed on camera.
‘I know Sonia like the back of my hand’ Darren boasted.

‘One thing is clear from this experiment: Sonia and I have to spend a lot more time together.’
