X Factor's Hannah Shears admits her two friends have shunned her since going solo

'We haven't really spoken since': X Factor's Hannah Shears admits her two friends have shunned her since going solo

It was a painful decision to make in the tough world of showbiz, but only now is Hannah Shears starting to pay the price.
The 17 year-old singer from Birmingham returned to the stage for the first today time since she was forced to leave the band she fronted with her two pals: Daisy Chain. 
Admitting that she still felt 'guilty' by the decision to go solo, she also confessed that the friends haven't spoken since they disbanded.

Yesterday, viewers saw the trio audition with The Supremes' hit Stop In The Name Of Love, but Hannah proved to have the standout voice. 
Ironically, just moments before, she had declared: 'If one of the links is broken, we don't work’.

But after performing, Gary Barlow told them: ‘I don't think there's an easy way to say this - Hannah, I think you have the potential to go far, but on your own.’
Fellow judge Nicole Scherzinger agreed, adding: ‘Hannah is the strongest vocalist and she has the strongest tone - and right now she's carrying the group.’
Nervous: Without her sisters, Hannah was a nervous singer - which was evident with her shakey start

She wasn't the only one who suffered a difficult audition, however. Pop trio Dynamics narrowly avoided elimination after the judges blasted their lack of chemistry.
Gary Barlow told them in no uncertain terms that they weren't going to make the final twelve, but - after the female vocalist refused to enter as a soloist -  the judges relented and allowed them a chance.

Giles potter, 16, from Worcester, also managed to scrape through. Declaring backstage that he had no reason to be nervous, the teenager was almost too obnoxious to function - forgetting his lyrics and barely dancing.

Despite describing his audition as a 'car crash', Barlow put him through to bootcamp.
In the new season, the bootcamp stage will add extra pressure by forcing contestants to justify their place in the live shows. 
Next week, in a shock twist, one contestant will even lose their place as Sharon Osbourne delivers a random ejection from the competition.
