Lucy Spraggan quits X Factor

Contestant Lucy Spraggan has quit The X Factor.
Lucy pulled out of last weekend’s Halloween themed show after falling ill. She was given a pass to tonight’s show but producers have revealed this morning that she won’t be returning.
An official statement released said that the singer-songwriter was not well enough again and had decided to pull out of the competition.

“I am gutted not to be able to continue on this journey but I’m not well enough to perform. To accept another free pass having missed last weekend would not be fair on the others in the competition. I wish them all well.
I would like to express my thanks to everyone who has supported me. There is no way that this setback will prevent me from fulfilling my ambition. You’ll be hearing from me again very soon.” – Lucy Spraggan

Lucy was mentored by Tulisa, who lost her first act on Sunday as Jade Ellis was eliminated over group Union J.
ITV has revealed that Lucy will not be replaced by a former contestant or auditionee following a flurry of online rumours.
