Just hours before the first live show of the series, it was revealed that Beth had ‘quit’ the show due to ‘personal reasons.’

“Due to personal reasons which have only just come to light, The Voice producers, the BBC and Beth have agreed that she should withdraw from The Voice,” an official statement read.

Now this morning, Beth has confirmed the rumours of a ‘drug scandal’ as the reason for her sudden departure. The 26-year-old singer is believed to have used cocaine during rehearsals, but it was not BBC premises.

“I am sorry. I am an addict,” Beth said. “I have let everybody down on the show. Two years ago I realised I had a problem with drugs. I was using them to cope with various issues in my life.”
