‘The Voice UK’ contestants Beth Morris, Chloe Castro withdraw from competition; why?

Tonight, there was a surprise on “The Voice UK,” and it was announced just before the start of the live shows: Beth Morris and Chloe Castro from Team Paloma Faith and Team Ricky Wilson, respectively, have pulled out of the competition.

In a statement, a representative for the network had the following to say:

“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producers, the BBC and Beth have agreed that she should withdraw from The Voice … Due to health reasons, Chloe has withdrawn from the competition. We wish her all the best.”

Ultimately, we imagine we’ll hear more about what happened over the course of the weeks ahead, but Beth’s decision is probably the biggest shocker given the fact that she was considered a potential favorite. Also, it was just a few days ago when Beth was tweeting up a storm about how excited she was to be a part of the show this season. Whatever happened here, it was definitely a last-second decision.

There are still ten other singers who are in the competition, and there are still opportunities for all of these people to win the grand prize. After whether or not any of them can be stars after the fact, that’s a completely different story … but we’ll have some other news about that in the future. For now, just stay tuned, as we’re going to be covering the live show throughout the night including our take on the singers and the results later on!
