The X Factor girl group Rhythmix are to change their name, following a threat of legal action by a Brighton charity with the same name.
The charity uses music to help disadvantaged youngsters and claims Simon Cowell’s production company Syco had initially failed to enter into a discussion about the name clash.
It said that having a band with the same name would affect its future work.
The X Factor said the girls would announce a new name “in due course”.
Producers at X Factor said they knew the charity existed, although the band had originally settled on the name without being aware it was used elsewhere.
