Wolf Winters on The Voice's cheating scandal between Guy Sebastian and Kelly Rowland
When Wolf Winters took to the stage for his blind audition on The Voice, he had no idea he was about to become embroiled in the biggest scandal of the season.
And on Tuesday, the 31-year-old singer broke his silence on the matter, telling WHO magazine exactly what it was like to be at the centre of the bitter feud between coaches Guy Sebastian and Kelly Rowland.
'On stage, it was a little bit odd and we go on there not having a clue as to how many spaces are left on each team, so when Guy turned I legitimately thought I was through [and that] nothing was wrong,' he said.

'The problem we have is that unless we get Kelly to take him, we potentially have to tell him that he's not through anymore,' the producer explained.
