The Risk was a four-piece boybandin Season 8 of The Factor UK that were initially composed of Ashley Baptiste (22, from London), car salesman Andy Merry (20, from Ayr), Burger King chef Derry Mensah (21, from London), Marlon McKenzie (28, from Manchester), and Mitchell McPike. Charlie Healy (25, from Coventry) was brought into the band, while Marlon and Mitchell were removed from the group at judges houses stage of the competition in a unique decision that has never been made before in X Factor history. Healy originally auditioned in another group, The Keys, while the other three auditioned as soloists.A Scottish band from Prestwick, who have been performing together for several years as The Risk asked The X Factor management to change the name of its contestants to avoid confusion.
On 28 October 2011, just before week four's live show, it was announced that original member Ashley Baptiste had decided to leave the band after stating that his heart did not lie within a boyband any more. He was replaced by Ashford Campbell, as a fourth member. Campbell had been previously a member of Nu Vibe, but his original band had been eliminated on 16 October in week two of the competition. In week 5, they received the fewest public votes and were sent home, after finding themselves in the bottom three. Their elimination was a shock to the public as they were the favourites to win The X Factor.
