The BBC has denied Paloma Faith is quitting The Voice, despite the star hinting on Instagram she may leave.

The singer shared a post over the weekend which said she was "going down with the ship" in "possibly my last foray into reality TV shows".

It led fans to say how much they want her to stay on the show, with one saying "you're amazing - don't leave".

The news comes after Ricky Wilson's announcement that he will be standing down after the current season ends.

But the BBC confirmed that Paloma Faith "hasn't quit The Voice" despite having no contestants left in the competition.

The show switches to ITV after this weekend's grand final but it's still unclear if Paloma Faith, will.i.am or Boy George will swap over to the new channel.

Former Liberty X star Kevin Simm is the new favourite to win the competition, replacing teenager Cody Frost.

They'll compete against Jolan and Lydia Lucy on Saturday.

Paloma Faith's remaining contestants Heather Cameron-Hayes and Jordan Gray left the show at last weekend's semi-final stage as did Vangelis and Lyrickal.

Paloma lost one of her singers, Beth Morris, before Easter after she pulled out of the show because of drug problems.

She said that she realised she had a problem with cocaine two years ago.

Beth thanked Paloma in her statement.

"Being on The Voice has been the best experience of my life, the production team and contestants have all been incredible and I have loved performing on the show.

"Paloma has also been a great support."
