AN X-Factor finalist has been axed from the telly hit — after bosses found out she was in breach of a court order.

Sisi Jghalef, 22, was a member of girl band Hope, who were manufactured by judges Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh and had got through to next month’s live shows.

But bosses fired her after discovering she had been convicted of common assault but not completed community service.

Sisi — best friend of Big Brother bitch Charley Uchea — was accused of common assault with racially threatening and insulting words likely to cause alarm and distress.

She is believed to have lashed out at a McDonald’s worker. She was found guilty and given a community service order.

But producers on the ITV1 hit found out Sisi had not carried out her service and could be re-arrested at any time.

An X-Factor spokesman said: “We had no choice. She had to go.”

X-FACTOR contestant Jacqui Gray last night thanked Simon for saving her life. When Jacqui, 46, sang for the panel Simon advised her to see a doctor to get her throat checked.

Her GP in Grindon, Derbys, diagnosed bronchiectasis, an incurable and potentially deadly lung infection.
