Anyone who has had their wisdom teeth removed will know the pain of waking up after surgery but not quite being ‘with it’.

After having her teeth removed recently, Rita Ora now knows all about this too.

Thankfully, the singer saw the hilarious side to her incoherent mumblings, sharing a video on Instagram and writing: “So I just took my wisdom teeth out and I think what I’m trying to say is chickens…oh god watching this back I don’t remember anything!!!! Straight to bed for me…byeeeee.”

Poor Rita, it’s never fun having surgery – and wisdom teeth removal can be particularly sore.

Rita’s future on The Voice has also been thrown into doubt after it was rumoured she would not return for another instalment of the talent show.

It was just days ago that she shared a snap of herself with fellow judges, Ricky, Tom Jones and Will I Am, writing: “I’m Gona [sic] miss these guys….thank you for being 3 of the best people to work with ever!! @bbcthevoice #TheCoachesBiatches.”

Aww, we’ll really miss Rita is she quits The Voice – she was always so nice and caring to the contestants.

And another one bites the dust.

This morning we reported that Hollyaoks star Stephanie Waring had called time on her relationship with boyfriend Riad Erraji, and now it has been revealed that The Voice judge Ricky Wilson is also now single.

The Kaiser Chiefs frontman admitted this weekend that he has split from his girlfriend of five years, TV producer Lesley Williams.

Opening up on the reason behind the break-up, Ricky revealed that the fame brought by his new role on the BBC talent show had its role to play.

“I took the risk of putting myself out there and I knew it was going to change me. I feel quite uncomfortable that I dragged someone else in who didn’t want that. It’s a huge part of my life and I find it tricky that I can’t have it both ways,” he said.

A source also told The Sun newspaper: “Ricky always wanted to keep Lesley out of the limelight and hates the idea that people will be talking about their break-up.”

Meanwhile, plenty of viewers have drawn attention to Ricky’s flirting with singer and fellow The Voice judge Rita Ora, who is in a relationship with designer Tommy Hilfiger’s son, Ricky.

Could there on-screen chemistry have also made for uncomfortable viewing?

Actress and singer Delta Goodrem had a scary moment on the set of The Voice Australia recently when she collapsed during filming.

The star was in the middle of offering feedback to a female singer in front of a 200-strong studio audience when she fell ill and had to be treated by paramedics.

Delta reportedly stopped talking and told her co-judges to give her a minute before rushing backstage. 

Shortly afterwards, a producer appeared on stage to tell the audience that Delta was "not feeling very well" and had complained of "pressure" on her chest, according to Australian magazine Women's Day.

Despite the scare, Delta returned to filming just ten minutes later and even made light of the situation by telling a contestant, "You were so good I just had to pass out."

Too early to joke, maybe?!

A spokesperson for the singer later said the incident had been brought on by high temperatures in the studio combined with Delta's tiredness from her hectic schedule. Delta, who was in a relationship with Westlife's Bryan McFadden for seven years between 2004 and 2011, is currently working on her fifth studio album as well as appearing on The Voice.

This isn't the first time there have been concerns for the star's health – she underwent chemotherapy back in 2003 to treat a type of cancer known as Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but luckily she has been in remission for the last ten years.

We hope Delta has a good support network and is being well looked after – it certainly sounds like she got a fright this week.

….even though he hadn’t died!

When Tom Jones began trending on Twitter on Sunday, everyone assumed he had died.

Rather, it was quite the opposite; the Welsh singer had performed at the AFL grand final in Australia.

Many people took to Twitter to say that when they saw his name trending, they instantly assumed he had passed away. 

Harsh…!

Thankfully, The Voice judge is still alive, well and singing!

Irish X Factor judge Louis Walsh has had a massive go at singer Bressie – saying he has no right to judge other people’s talents!

Louis said the former Blizzards singer is in no position to be judging hopeful musicians because he has never had a hit himself.

While the former manager of Boyzone and Westlife thinks Dolores O’Riordan is a hit on the show, he thinks Bressie should be booted off!

Louis said, “I thought Dolores was just fantastic. She was absolutely natural. She was just sitting there like she was at home watching telly.

“I think she was very honest and very good and she has sold a lot of records, unlike Bressie who has never had a hit.

“He is telling people what to do and he has never had a hit record.

“He should do male modelling. I think he should just forget about the music.”

Ouch!

He added, “I know Dolores and Kian [Egan] have, and Jamelia has had one or two hits but I can’t remember any of Bressie’s songs.”

And in a swipe at the Voice of Ireland Louis advised singing hopefuls to audition for the X Factor instead.

He said,  “I watched it but nothing ever happens to the winner. Look at One Direction, look at Ollie Murs, look at JLS and look at Leona Lewis. The Voice doesn’t produce stars.”
