Jessie J stormed off 'The Voice' set after clashing with will.i.am over his decision to axe one of her favourite acts.
The 25-year-old singer, who regularly insists on the show that she "keeps it real", lost the plot when Liam Tamne and John Pritchard performed Easy Lover in the battle round and Will had to choose who goes through to the live shows.
As the duo performed, Jessie complained that it was the wrong song choice and questioned Will for choosing that tune, the Mirror reported.
"I don't pick songs for Jessie to say 'Wow that was a great song choice.' This song is best for what I needed to see so it did its job," Will responded.
After the heated discussion, Jessie stormed off, saying to a member of production: "I don't understand what he's doing. I just need to have a moment away from him."
Unsympathetic Will told the cameras that he had no idea why Jessie got upset.
A show insider told the publication that Jessie had to take some time out backstage and cool down as she really gets invested in the acts and the show and it all got a bit much for her.
