Guy Sebastian and Kelly Rowland lock horns over CHEATING scandal on The Voice forcing producer to intervene
Guy Sebastian was at the centre of a cheating scandal on Monday’s episode of The Voice Australia.
The mentor turned his chair for contestant Wolf Winters, who performed a dark rendition of Simon & Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence.
This led to a showdown between himself and Kelly Rowland, who still had a slot available on her team, with a producer being forced to step in.

‘Wait, you can’t do that!’ Kelly cried out, and Boy George chimed in: ‘You’re full, you can’t have this man anyway.’
Guy then tried to push Kelly to take Wolf on, to which she replied: ‘I’m looking for something specific, how’re you going to tell me what to look for my team?’
She then complained: ‘You’re cheating. You are cheating’ with a producer having to break up the fracas.

No can do! Guy then tried to push Kelly to take Wolf on, to which she replied: ‘I’m looking for something specific, how’re you going to tell me what to look for my team?’

‘The problem we have is that unless we get Kelly to take him, we potentially have to tell him that he’s not through anymore,’ the producer said.
It was eventually decided that Guy could have Wolf, but would lose two of his team in the battle rounds.
Fans at home found the whole thing distasteful, with one Tweeting: ‘How did Guys chair turn? I thought they can’t turn it your team is full’.

Another wrote: ‘Honestly Guy knew the rules just because Kelly didn’t turn. Now you’re putting her in that situation… why is it on Kelly to take him just cos Guy presses his button. Ain’t fair’.
Someone else added: ‘Okay so that was unfair on everyone involved Guy. Not very good sportsperson-ship’.
Others were sympathetic however, with one person Tweeting: ‘Kelly broke the rules last year so who is she talking to Guy about how he is not following the rules when she changed the rules herself last year.’
