Lawrence Hill from Hertfordshire was auditioning for the ITV talent competition when the incident happened.
The 25-year-old singer was coming towards the end of his performance when Will started to rub the ink off from his button.
Turning around by surprise, Will looked shocked, but fans are suspicious that the whole scenario was scripted.
Awkwardly explaining why he had turned around, Will said: “Check this out, sometimes magical things happen. Before you went on I drew a face. I realised there was a smudge on it.
“I pushed down on the button harder than I should… but he is pretty dope though! I believe in destiny. But destiny is also a destination. I was really cleaning off the button.”
Lawrence added: “Energies that we can’t control are in control at the moment,” before Jennifer Hudson said: “I don’t know about that, but your coach is crazy.”
“I’ve never felt so insulted yet happy at the same time in my entire life! I’m going to prove to him that I deserve a place on that team,” said Lawrence.
One viewer tweeted: “Sorry are we supposed to believe this bulls**t… it’s so scripted #TheVoice #TheVoiceUK.”
“#TheVoice Pretending to press the button by accident – one of the worst scripted ‘ideas’ ever seen on this show #shameful,” posted another.
A third added: “Scripted or not scripted that was CRUEL #THEVOICE.”
Tom Jones tweeted: “Smooth comeback @iamwill ! You deserve your place in the show fair and square @lawrencehmusic, well done. #TheVoiceUK.”
