One of the finalists in the X Factor television talent show has been forced to quit after she was caught on video assaulting another girl.
Emily Nakanda, 15, is seen grabbing the girl's hair and throwing her to the ground before punching and kicking her.
The contestant withdrew from the show today after producers were alerted to the video by a national newspaper. A spokeswoman said that Emily had been dropped after stills of the footage was published in The Sun. Other footage of her threatening to gouge a boy's eyes out with a knife also emerged this week.
"In response to the stories in the papers this week regarding Emily Nakanda, we have conducted our own investigations into the matter and we can confirm that she has chosen to withdraw herself from the competition with immediate effect,” the spokeswoman said.
