Ricky Wilson has confirmed that he and his long-term partner Lesley Williams have called time on their relationship.

The 37-year-old Kaiser Chiefs frontman and The Voice judge told The Sun that his rising fame thanks to the talent show had been the kiss of death for the pair.

"I took the risk of putting myself out there and I knew it was going to change me," he confessed.

"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. I can't have it both ways."

Wilson is now on his second series of the popular BBC show, having replaced former judge Danny O'Donoghue in September 2013.
