Distraught X Factor singer Gamu Nhengu broke down and wept last night as she told how she fears being killed by a death squad if she is sent back to lawless Zimbabwe.
Inconsolable Gamu, 18, revealed her heartbreak has been made even worse after she was turned down for a return to the show yesterday as a “wild card” contestant thanks to a bureaucratic immigration wrangle.
[...]
In dramatic scenes aired last Sunday, Gamu was axed despite a flawless performance while rivals Katie Waissel and Cher Lloyd, who both fluffed their songs, were put through.
[...]
“Everything is in tatters for me,” says Gamu, who arrived in the UK from unstable and violence-torn Zimbabwe five years ago... They will punish us if we go back, our lives are in danger.”
[...]
Gamu now blames herself for drawing the attention of immigration chiefs to her family, who they want deported from the quiet Scottish town of Tillicoultry, which they now call home.
“I wish I’d never entered the X Factor because if I hadn’t been on it my family would be safe, and because of me, now they aren’t.”
