Popstar hopeful Hazel Kaneswaran has been ousted from the show for being too old.

Hazel, who is due to give birth any day, is 10 days too old for the show.

Viewers will see her make it into the final ten girls in this Saturday’s show. But an extra show will be screened on Sunday with judges Geri Halliwell and Louis Walsh flying to Dublin to tell Hazel she has been axed.

Contestants have to be aged between 16 and 24 on July 1, but Hazel turned 25 on June 20 reports the papers.

Reports are fast emerging that suggest record company Polydor is now thinking about offering Hazel a solo recording contract.

From what I’ve heard about the girl, I think she truly deserves it.
