Speaking to OK! Magazine, a source said: “This year, the show is the most competitive it’s ever been.
“They all want to win it and the standard is so high, you could cut the atmosphere with a knife, you can really feel the tension.
“They’re all training like crazy. Nobody is interested in being second, they all want to win.”
