'She could win the whole show!' Will.i.am left embarrassed on The Voice after failing to turn round for a contestant who co-wrote one of his hits
She co-wrote Will.i.am's hit T.H.E (The Hardest Ever) which he released with Jennifer Lopez back in 2011.
But Tanya Lacey, didn't manage to win the musician over on Saturday's edition of The Voice despite putting on an impressive performance of Whitney Houston's All The Man That I Need.
Will.i.am was left embarrassed after realising he hadn't turned for the 31-year-old, with the wannabe getting put through thanks to Gavin Rossdale and Tom Jones.

'Oh what a dumb a**,' he said after shaking hands with her following her audition. 'I should have turned around, I'm a bone head for not turning. I should've turned around.'
'I'm surprised you didn't,' said Jennifer Hudson,' who also stayed still in her chair.
'She could win the whole damn competition, she could win the whole show,' Will added ruefully.
Before her performance, Tanya had admitted she'd been a little nervous about singing in front of the Black Eyed Peas maestro.
'It’s going to be so weird singing for will.i.am,' she confided. ‘It’ll be the first time that we might potentially meet each other! Imagine if he doesn’t turn for me.'

Tanya ended up opting for Gavin Rossdale to be her coach despite Tom's pleas to join him.
‘I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if it’s experience you’re looking for it’s right here,' he said.
Meanwhile, Saturday's show saw the first time all four judges turned around this series after Clara Hurtado's impressive performance of the song Latch.
