THE RED CHAIRS SPIN AROUND TO REVEAL SECRET ALLIANCES

- 

Ronan Keating might insist that "there's no b---hiness going on" between The Voice Australia coaches this year, but that doesn't mean secret allegiances aren't forming behind those spinning red chairs!

Insiders tell New Idea that personal relationships between the coaches – which along with Ronan includes Melanie 'Mel C' Chisholm, Kate Miller-Heidke and Richard Marx – could result in strategic partnerships emerging that influence the outcome of the singing competition.

"Secret pacts between the coaches happen all the time," says the source. "It's almost a given at this point!"
