Girl group Miss Dynamix dropped out of The X Factor on Saturday night, after pregnant SeSe Foster was rushed to hospital.
The trio - SeSe, Jeanette Akua and Rielle Carrington - will instead get a free pass to continue on to next week's show.
A statement from The X Factor read: 'SeSe felt unwell prior to the dress rehearsal and so as a precaution and because she is pregnant, she was taken to hospital this evening.

'As SeSe took the lead vocal in tonight's number, it was too late to re-work the performance as a duo, and therefore Miss Dynamix will not perform in tonight's show and will be given a bye through to next week.'
It's not been a successful week health-wise for The X Factor contestants as SeSe, 22, who is six months pregnant with her first child, isn't the only participant to have fallen ill.
Shelley Smith was apparently concerned that she might not be able to perform after fainting following contracting a mystery virus.
A source told the Daily Mirror: 'Shelley had been complaining of feeling a bit ill all day. Then she went to run a bath and fainted.

'The doctor has told her to take it easy, but she’s quite worried because she’s performing Beyonce’s Single Ladies tonight. It’s a real belter and she knows she needs to put loads of energy into it to pull it off. She’s being very brave about it all though.'

In addition, Abi Alton also fell ill and vomited in the car on the way to rehearsals earlier this week.
Previously, SeSe insisted that her pregnancy hasn't stopped her working hard on her performances and she finds the complex choreography easier to master than her bandmates do.
She said: 'I'm actually doing the dances better than the other two. That's a sign - don't put down the mothers and pregnant women out there because they can do it just like anyone else out there.'
SeSe found out about her pregnancy on the day of her first audition but kept it secret from show bosses and her bandmates until the group were put through to the live shows as she didn't want to lose her place in the competition.
She told heat magazine: 'At first, I was scared it was going to jeopardise my place in the competition and then I didn't want to be stereotyped.
'I didn't want anyone to say, "Well she can't do it, let's give it to another group". I felt that if I could show them myself and then we'll see what happens.'
The group had been the favourite to be axed from the competition this weekend, with bookmakers William Hill offering odds of 13/8 that they would be voted off the show.
