X Factor sensation Lucy Spraggan has cleared the air about the pulling of her single "Last Night" from iTunes.

The starlet's comedy song about drinking too much shot up the charts following her weekend audition on the show, which got her a standing ovation.

However, her single and album vanished from iTunes shortly after, prompting rumours the song had been removed because it threatened to steal the number one slot from former X Factor winners Little Mix.

Speaking to reporters, Lucy said it was just a decision that was made and she agreed with, and it was simply the price to pay for staying in the competition.

She seems confident she has made the right choice, and judging by the reaction she got during her audition, she has a bright career ahead of her.
