FLUFF: Kylie Minogue went in for a contestant hug... And was rejected.

Well. This is awkward.

Possibly the most embarrassing split-second moment of Kylie Minogue’s career (and we’re talking about a woman who spent a decade in fluorescent lycra).

On The Voice, Kyles went in for a hug, smiling with her arms outstretched towards a couple of contestants as they descended the stairs. And she was rejected. Brutally, awkwardly rejected. Ah, just watch the video.

So, what happened? R’n’B soul duo Zaachariah Fielding and Kristal West – known as ZK – had just performed Justin Bieber’s song As Long As You Love Me. Will.i.am turned his giant red chair, meaning ZK were through to the next round. And then as Zaachariah walked by, Kylie was left hanging, waiting for a post-performance cuddle that never came.

As you can imagine, he’s mortified. He blames the blinding excitement of seeing Ricky Martin on his accidental snub of Kylie “Princess of Pop” Minogue.

“Oh my gosh, I love all the coaches,” Zaachariah said. “Because of my excitement I just went straight to Ricky Martin.”

Frankly, put us in a room with Ricky Martin and who knows if we’d notice a single other human being. Even Kylie.
