Will.i.am has reportedly turned to Cheryl Cole and Labrinth to help him understand UK slang.
The Black Eyed Peas star is currently appearing as a coach on The Voice UK and has struggled to get to grips with some of the words his fellow coaches Jessie J and Tom Jones have been using.
According to The Sun, Will has been forced to turn to Cheryl (who he manages) and songwriter Labrinth to help him get down with the kids.
"Will wants a crash course in youth talk," a source told the paper
"Pal Cheryl Cole has taught him some of the lingo but Labrinth suggested he watch EastEnders and Skins. Lab's also going to take him to a footie match."
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Paloma Faith, Dante Santiago, Cerys Matthews and Ana Matronic will be joining The Voice UK as 'Battle Advisors' later in the series.
