Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson has revealed that he was so nervous about taking on his current role as a judge on The Voice UK, that he was prescribed drugs by a doctor to help calm him in front of the cameras.
However, the 'I Predict A Riot' star claims he refused to knock back prescription drugs as he worried about the side effects from the tablets.
"I went to the doctors because I was dizzy and the doctor said, 'You're a bit anxious'," says Wilson, reposts Hello magazine. "Every time I stood up I thought I was going to fall down."
He added: "I was given tablets which I pretended to take – I thought they might do something weird."
