X Factor contestant Tom Bleasby has quit the show only days before he was due to appear during the Judges' Houses round.

The 19-year-old tweeted the reason for his departure was due to personal reasons.

A spokesman for X Factor said: "We can confirm that Tom Bleasby has chosen to withdraw from the competition due to personal reasons."

He first found fame when the video of him duetting with Jessie J went viral. Tom recently appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show and got the surprise news he could sing with Jessie J in person.
