Emily Pulls Out Of X Factor

15 year old Emily Nakanda pulls out of british television talent show after investigations begin into the recent videos of her and her friends attacking two girls.

Young emily was said to have a bright future in singing with Sharon Osbourne her mentor describing her as having a "butter would'nt melt her mouth" personality. The family and Emily decided that she could no longer carry on in the competion after these investigations, Emily's mother says

"Emily regrets her actions but there is no way, as a family, we can excuse her behaviour. Emily is very sorry to have let the show, Sharon and the viewers down."

It is believed the videos were filmed before Emily entered The X Factor and have since been removed from the website. As the youngest finalist to ever have competed on the programme, Simon Cowell said Emily "was the reason the age range was lowered".

The singer also gained the sympathy of viewers by revealing that she almost died from the stomach infection peritonitis last year. She was due to sing Bjork's It's Oh So Quiet on the next programme. Show organisers have said that Emily's withdrawal will not affect the voting on the show this Saturday and one act will still leave the competition. Bookmaker Ladbrokes said it would refund all bets on the teenager following her shock exit. "We think the only fair thing to do, given the circumstances, is to void all bets on Emily regardless of the market," a Ladbrokes spokesman said.
