will.i.am had an epic fail on Saturday when he pressed his button on The Voice by mistake.

Before the acts came out for the blind auditions the 'Scream & Shout' singer appeared to be bored. He could be seen doodling on the big red button with a marker pen and even taking a photo of it with his tablet.

Then, during a contestant's performance of 'Save Tonight' by Eagle-Eye Cherry Will was trying to remove a smudge and inadvertently hit his button, spinning his chair around.

As his chair turned around the expression on will.i.am's face was priceless, as were the reactions from Jennifer Hudson and Sir Tom Jones who sat there in disbelief.

will.i.am 'flapped' his arms like a baby bird trying to fly and then had to sit out the rest of the song facing the contestant Lawrence Hill.

After the song Will explained, "sometimes magical things happen" going on to say how he pressed the button by mistake, but he was pretty glad he did, as he liked the 25-year-old's performance.

However while Lawrence's performance was good, it wasn't good enough to get the other judges, Jennifer Hudson, Sir Tom Jones and Gavin Rossdale to turn around.

The Voice is on Saturdays at 8pm on ITV.
