A girl group who made the X Factor 2012 bootcamp have been kicked out after one of their members was charged with assault.
Newcastle foursome Quantro had originally impressed the judges at auditions in the city last month.
But when bosses found out one member was due in court on charges relating to a nightclub ‘glassing’, the band were booted out of the competition.
Band member Hannah explained: “We got amazing comments from the judges and we are just heartbroken.
“We have worked so hard to get to where we were. We can’t thank people enough for the support we’ve been given and that’s why the band is going to carry on.”
Despite one of their singers facing a possible prison sentence if convicted, Hannah insisted that the group would continue.
She said: “We’d like to thank everybody so so much from the bottom of our hearts for the support everyone gave us.
“It meant everything and we will strive to continue what we love. Keep your dreams alive.”
A spokesperson for The X Factor commented that the group were not allowed to continue as a trio, but were welcome to try out again next year.
