"X Factor star Jade Richards has appeared to hint that she auditioned for The Voice UK. The Fife-based singer left a cryptic message on Twitter suggesting that she had turned to the BBC&amp;#039;s rival contest after twice being rejected from The X Factor.    &amp;quot;Had an amazing day! #TheVoice,&amp;quot; the tweet from earlier this week read. Richards became a firm fan favourite after making her X Factor debut in the show&amp;#039;s 2011 series with a performance of Adele&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Someone Like You&amp;#039;.  She was controversially axed by Kelly Rowland at the Judges&amp;#039; Houses stage and only made it as far as Boot Camp when she re-auditioned for this year&amp;#039;s competition.      It has been announced that the second series of The Voice UK will feature fewer live shows and give more focus to the series&amp;#039; spinning chairs feature. Jessie J is so far the only coach confirmed to return, though the BBC has said that it wants will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Danny O&amp;#039;Donoghue back as well. The X Factor, meanwhile, will return for its Judges&amp;#039; Houses episodes of this year&amp;#039;s series on Saturday (September 29) at 8pm on ITV1. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
