X Factor: Rough Copy will be a trio for the live shows
Rough Copy performed as a duo for the judges' houses stage of The X Factor
X Factor finalists Rough Copy will be a trio for the live shows.
Two of the Croydon group, Joey James and Sterling Ramsey, became a duo after visa issues stopped founder member Kazeem Ajobe travelling to New York for the judges' houses stage.
However, judge Gary Barlow met the 24-year-old after the band had made it to the live finals and asked him to return.
He said without Ajobe, Rough Copy were like "a body with a piece missing".
The band were chosen for judges' houses in 2012 but had to pull out of the show after Kazeem Ajobe's visa was not sorted out in time to allow him to leave the UK.
