Turns out that Emily Nakanda – the 15-year-old X Factor contestant who was last week described by Dermot O'Leary as 'spirited' – is actually a little bit more spirited than we could have guessed.
Not that we're saying Emily Nakanda is spirited in the sense that she stands up for what she believes in, rather that she's spirited in the sense that she goes around happyslapping other girls in attacks that are filmed on mobile phones and subsequently posted on the internet. And one such video of Emily Nakanda getting another girl in a headlock and pulling her hair has forced her to leave X Factor.
So far all there is to go on is a statement from Emily Nakanda's X Factor mentor Sharon Osbourne which reads:
"I am deeply saddened by this whole situation."
Along with a statement from Emily's family:
"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."
Whether Emily – who last week sang I'm Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman in the style of a drowsy goose – was forced to leave X Factor, or whether she chose to leave X Factor out of shame of being caught committing such a pikey crime remains to be seen. We're sure all will be revealed on tomorrow's X Factor, probably accompanied by all the whooshing and explosions and hysterical screaming that the show does so well.
We'll have more on Emily Nakanda leaving X Factor as we get it. Unless we can't be bothered. She wasn't exactly very good, was she?
UPDATE: The Sun has the Emily Nakanda happyslap video online

I agree, Emily is the biggest idiot ever. She treated another human being like an animal. Not even an animal. Worse. She is agressive and stupid. She did not deserve to be on the show and I am glad she was made to leave. Emily, you deserve a proper lesson and what could be a better lesson than a whole nation watching you hurting another person with such cruelty. YOU DESERVE what you got. The other day on the bus I overheard a group of teenagers saying you shouldn’t have been born.
Well… although I am very dissapointed, I hope you can become a better person in the future.
