X Factor winner Alexandra Burke has pulled out of this week's Zionist Federation concert to celebrate Israel’s 65th birthday.
The singer, who performed at Jewish weddings with the Gilev Showband before her rise to fame in 2008, was due to perform at the Yom Ha’atzmaut event at Wembley Arena on Tuesday evening.
But the ZF emailed supporters on Monday morning to say she would not appear.
The organisation said: "We would like to inform you that unfortunately Alexandra Burke will no longer be able to join us on the night."
