PIXIE LOTT has been ordered by her record company to rest her voice.
The Mama Do singer admitted that she spends too much time chatting to her friends.
Speaking to the Daily Star, 18-year-old Lott - real name Victoria - said: "Being on the phone all the time is the worst thing for my voice and I get told not to do it.
"But because I'm really busy I try to stay in contact with my friends that way.
"One time I had to rest my voice for a week and that was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life because I love talking.
"I have to drink lots of herbal tea and try to warm up as much as I can. Plus if I have a big show coming up then I won't go out beforehand."
