Lucy Spraggan has revealed the real reason she left The X Factor after being sexually assaulted on a night out with the cast and crew.
While illness was given as the reason for her eventual exit from the series, she’s now explained it was a result of the rape.
However, she’s now said that ‘in order for me to rebuild myself and move on, I needed to tell the truth’. ‘We have evolved and improved these oversight procedures since the events in question and we are encouraged to hear that Thames recognises the importance of continuous review and improvement of their own processes.
In a statement to Metro, a spokesperson for Fremantle, the show’s producers, said: ‘The serious sexual assault suffered by Lucy Spraggan in October 2012 was a truly horrific criminal act for which the perpetrator, who was not connected with the programme, was rightfully prosecuted and imprisoned. Anyone should feel safe when they are sleeping in a hotel room – and it is abhorrent to think that a hotel porter abused that trust in such a vile way.
