"I am a realist. There are indeed many talents coming through and there is also thirteen years between me and George Noble. I am the old boy now," said Bray to RTL7.

"I think I have a few more years to go. But we'll see how it goes. Every time they hire me again, that's a good sign," says The Voice. "It will be about three years."
