'The Voice UK': Live Shows Chaos As Four Contestants Struggle To Sing Due To Illness

It's All About 'The Voice'... Shame Four Contestants Have Lost Theirs!

'The Voice' UK kicks off its first round of live shows on Saturday night, but there is drama behind-the-scenes as a number of the show's contestants have reportedly lost their voices.

Kylie Minogue is the mentor most affected, with two of her acts Jamie Johnson and Lee Glasson currently struggling to sing.

Tom Jones's contestant Sally Barker has also fallen ill, as well as Christina Marie, mentored by Kaiser Chiefs' frontman Ricky Wilson.

This is particularly bad news for Christina, one of the front-runners to win the show, who previously said she doesn't think the live shows will be as nerve-racking as the initial auditions.

The ill contestants have been told not to join in rehearsals in an attempt to preserve their voices, but with just 24 hours until the show goes live, we'll have to wait and see whether the contestants can pull it together in time.
