The X Factor finalist Emily Nakanda has quit the British TV talent show after images emerged of her attacking a teenage girl.

The 15-year-old Londoner, who is one of two remaining hopefuls being mentored by The X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne, is seen putting a blonde girl in a headlock in the mobile phone video.

It is the second violent video to have emerged this week - Nakanda also appeared in a video clip where she threatened to gouge out a boy's eyes with a knife.

A spokesman for the show says, "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."
