A bizarre moment on The Voice on Sunday night caught the attention of some eagle-eyed viewers – and it wasn’t just Delta Goodrem’s dirty feet.
During the blind auditions, three of the coaches – Delta, Guy Sebastian and Kelly Rowland – kicked off their shoes and placed their bare feet on the same footrest in front of Delta’s chair.
However, the positioning of the camera created the optical illusion that Delta and Kelly had five feet between them.

At first glance, the shot appeared to show Guy sitting normally while only Delta and Kelly, who were sharing the same chair, kicked their feet up.
As a result, the two women seemed to have a mystery fifth foot.
Of course, the extra foot actually belonged to Guy – but it wasn’t immediately clear from his seating position that he’d placed his left leg on the footrest, too.

In response to a Daily Mail Australia article about the episode, a fan tweeted: ‘I’d be more concerned about why these ladies have five feet between them.’
They suggested the image had been Photoshopped, but it was just a trick of the eye.
It comes after Twitter went into a meltdown on Sunday night when Delta displayed her dirty bare feet during the blind auditions.

‘Can Delta Goodrem wash her feet before sticking them in a camera lens?’ one distressed fan wrote on Twitter.
‘Delta Goodrem’s feet tho…’ another added, alongside a string of vomiting emojis.
A third tweeted: ‘Maybe Delta Goodrem you should keep your feet on the ground.’

Delta was only too happy to put her feet on display while fighting with the other coaches over contestant Nathan Issac.
Nathan had left the judges breathless as he performed the song You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by ’80s band Dead or Alive.
Boy George, himself a pop icon from that decade, was first to turn his chair and said that gave him the right to ‘speak first’.
‘I’m from the ’80s, and I knew Pete Burns [the late frontman of Dead or Alive] for a long time,’ he reasoned.
Fellow coach Kelly Rowland then sat beside Delta, and the two women kicked off their heels and placed their feet on a rest.
‘There’s some sort of weird foot fetish going on over here,’ George said.

The pair then worked together to fight for Nathan to join Delta’s team.
‘I really love your look,’ Kelly said. ‘I do like your voice a whole lot, and I’m hoping you’ll make the right decision to go with my lovely friend Delta Goodrem.’
Delta added: ‘I called in support because I felt like this was going to be a strong battle up against George and this ’80s connection right now!’
Despite their efforts, Nathan ended up choosing Boy George as his coach.
