Ashley Baptiste quits The Risk

Boyband member Ashley J Baptiste (far left on the photo) from X Factor super group, The Risk, has decided to leave the group. After a busy week of rehearsals, Baptiste decided to leave the line-up just days before their live performance.

Mentor Tulisa Contostavlos was saddened by the news, she said:

"He couldn't hack the pressure and this wasn't what he wanted to do. The boys were like, 'You absolute d***". I am devastated by Ashley leaving... The boys are very upset.”

With Baptiste leaving the group, Nu Vibe’s Ashford Campbell is back in the finals as the replacement member with only a day’s rehearsal before tonight’s show (October 29).

Watch a home-recording of Baptiste perform Adele's 'Hometown Glory' and The Risk performing Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' on X Factor's 'Rock Week' last weekend (October 22) below:
