How many of us thought, "Oh come on Lee Nelson, we've seen this all before lad"? - loads of people if Twitter is anything to go by!
Well it turns out that well-known prankster Lee was not behind the stage invasion during The Voice and now we know details of exactly who was.
An up & coming rapper by the name of Dr A.C was the man behind the stunt and he's taken to Twitter to share exactly what was written on his piece of paper...

He claims that he was on a mission to share his creative ideas and that the stage invasion was not supposed to be threatening. Dr A.C also claims that security choked him for several minutes after they were seen grabbing him and removing him from the stage.
