Hope threatened by feuds
11 November 2007, 9:24PM
There have been reports that members of the girl group Hope have been placed in separate bedrooms due to a number of rows.
The group clashed in rehearsals after member Charlie Mole accused Leah Lauder of having "the wrong look for the band".
A source to The People newspaper: "Suddenly Charlie lost it, blaming Leah for harming their chances of winning. She said she looked like the odd one out because she was fatter than the rest of them. It was really hurtful to Leah."
It was also reported that Leah threatened to quit the show but was persuaded to stay by the producers. The source continued: "It was touch and go. Producers spent hours trying to talk them down. There was a lot of shouting and tears," the insider explained. "Leah eventually agreed to stay but the situation is highly volatile. She and Charlie no longer speak except when necessary in rehearsals. The producers have had to split them up so they are sleeping in different bedrooms."
Mentor Simon Cowell is said to be "furious" that the group's personal differences could ruin their chances of winning the show.
