Michelle blames pregnancy for failure
Published Sunday, Oct 2 2005, 11:55 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
The X Factor's Michelle Thorne thinks that her pregnancy was to blame for being knocked out of the talent contest.
The glamour model made it to the show's Boot Camp stage, but judge Sharon Osbourne, who is mentoring the 25 and over solo singers, did not choose Thorne for the final 21.
"I'm heartbroken. X Factor was my dream and I really thought I could win," Michelle told The People.
"But my pregnancy left me tired, forgetful and over-emotional and in the end I couldn't hack it. I couldn't learn the songs."
Michelle discovered that she was pregnant after filming had started, but decided to keep the news a secret.
"I didn't tell anyone but now I wish I had - things might have been different," she explained. "When I had a one-to-one with Sharon I should have told her about the baby because I think she would have understood."
Thorne added, "I am going to do it again next year so watch out!"
