The newspaper claimed that many of the production team wanted Emily to remain on the show but Simon did not feel it would be appropriate.

A source explained: “Cowell told the producers that, although she is only 15 and it’s a sensitive subject, she can’t remain on the show. She is giving out a bad message to other teenagers who watch and may look up to her.”

Early this week videos were made public in which Emily (who was referred to as Lady Shiverz) seemed to be taking part in gang activities and was seen threatening to cut out a boys eyes.

Then just yesterday another video emerged showing Emily launching a happy slapping attack against another teenage girl.

Emily and her family have decided that she will now remove herself from the X factor show, ITV released the following statement.

Show spokeswoman said: “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.”

Speaking on behalf of Emily, Louis Friberg, Emily’s Mother said, “As a family we are heartbroken and are very disappointed with Emily’s behaviour, we feel that there is no choice but to withdraw Emily from the competition. Emily and all the family sincerely apologise to both Anna, her school and all the fans that have supported Emily. 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.”

Sharon Osbourne, Emily’s mentor on the show said today: “I am deeply saddened by this whole situation.”

After Emily’s early departure it looks as though the planned double eviction will be cancelled, leaving just one act going home this aturday.

With only one act left poor Sharon has no chance of winning now!
