Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson steps out wearing an eye-patch after 'minor incident' on video shoot for new single

He has undergone something of a physical transformation in recent years - looking slimmer and smarter than ever before.

But Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson cut a very different figure when he was seen leaving the BBC studios in London on Monday.

Because, following a mishap on the set of a recent video shoot, he was forced to wear an eye-patch.

MailOnline contacted a representative for Wilson, who told us there was 'A minor incident on the video shoot for Meanwhile Up In Heaven.'

No further details were disclosed, but the injury was clearly not enough to stop the singer/songwriter from working.

Wearing a huge smile, he was clearly on good form - and delighted to be promoting his band's latest Number 1 album.

The return to fresh music comes after Ricky finished his mentoring role on BBC1's The Voice.

Popular with viewers and colleagues alike, fans are hoping he will return - but the star says he has no idea whether he will be back for a second series.

The 36-year-old Never Miss A Beat singer said in an interview producers haven't actually been in touch to discuss the next series.

The lead singer of the Kaiser Chiefs didn't think there 'would be enough space for him' on the next series, which follows the news fellow judge Kylie Minogue will also be making an exit from the show.

Ricky revealed to The Sun: 'I haven’t been asked yet, for a start. People keep telling me rumours of who might join the panel and I’m not sure there’d be a space for me. It would definitely depend on the coaches.'

Kylie Minogue has already confirmed that she won’t be returning as a mentor to the show, as the filming conflicts with her ‘Kiss Me Once’ tour.

However, Ricky did admit in the interview that even if he did return it would not be the same without his Spinning Around co-judge, admitting she helped coach him just as much as the contestants.

'It would be weird doing it without Kylie. She helped get me over the edge', he added.
