'The Voice' contestant says Will.i.Am tried to sabotage Jessie J

A contestant on vocal talent show The Voice has claimed that competition between the coaches is so tough that they have been trying to sabotage each other during the live tapings.

18-year-old Becky Hill explained to the Daily Star that after she was saved from elimination by 'Domino' songstress Jessie J, Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.Am fiddled with her equipment and caused her to stop mid-performance because she couldn't hear her own voice:

"Will saw that there was so much competition from Team Jessie he switched her mic off."

Jessie J was about to kick off her own team's rendition of 'We Are Young' by fun. when the incident occured, but the BBC has refuted claims of tampering and insisted it was simply a technical problem.
