The 11-date tour for The Voice UK Live has been cancelled due to a lack of ticket sales.

The gigs were due to feature eight of the show's finalists.

The Voice UK Live tour was to begin at the Bournemouth International Centre on 12 September and was then due to visit venues in Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, London, Glasgow and Sheffield.

Organisers say fans with tickets for the cancelled dates can get a refund.

A number of ticket outlets had only cited five dates as being axed earlier today (18 June), but organisers have confirmed that none of the scheduled dates will be going ahead.

In a statement, a spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, The Voice UK Live has been cancelled due to lack of ticket sales.

"Customers are advised to contact their point of purchase for ticket refunds."

The news comes as the show was criticised for failing to attract viewers.

Episodes of The Voice consistently attracted average audiences of more than 10 million in April, but the ratings had dropped to 4.5 million later in the series.

More than seven million people tuned in to watch 28-year-old Leanne Mitchell, from Lowestoft in Suffolk, be crowned the show's first winner.

Her single, a cover of Whitney Houston's Run To You, failed to make it into the top 40 of the Official Chart.

Calvin Harris says claims from Rita Ora that she was offered Cheryl's number one single Call My Name first is "disrespectful".

The track was originally written by Harris and sold more than 152,000 copies to launch it to number one in the Official Top 40 chart.

But Harris took to Twitter to rebuff Ora's claims, saying: "For the record, Call My Name was never given to Rita Ora to sing...she made that up, don't know why?"

Rita Ora's comments have now been removed from Twitter.

When asked by someone on Twitter what proof he had, the I'm Not Alone singer also tweeted: "Coz I did that song."

"I was setting the record straight as you didn't at the time," he later added. "It was a disrespectful comment to make, that's all."

Rita then tweeted: "I hate beef and fighting.. So I love u all @calvinharris call me I'll explain what actually happened they twisted it and congratulations. X"

This is not the first time the 28-year-old has taken to a social network to defend his material.

He accused R&B singer Chris Brown of theft after the star used his music in his single Yeah x3.

Brown later apologised and credited half the track to Harris.
