X FACTOR favourite Tamera Foster has issued a grovelling apology after it emerged she was caught shoplifting.

The 16-year-old singer was held by security guards for stealing make-up from a branch of Boots a month after her first audition.

An insider confirmed Tamera told producers: “I am so, so sorry.”

The source added: “She is really remorseful for what she has done and has said sorry to everyone on the show for letting them down. She is distraught.”

Tamera was caught thieving along with two other girls at the store in Gravesend, Kent, on July 24.

Kent Police said Boots decided to deal with Tamera through “restorative justice”.

It means a manager would have been given a chance to ask why the theft had occurred, call for an apology and seek amends rather than press charges.

Sources confirmed Tamera had agreed to pay the cost of the goods stolen.

It comes as an unfortunately-timed video tutorial of how show artists do Tamara’s make-up was released online.

The teenager is 9-4 to win and blew the judges away with a rendition of Chaka Khan’s Ain’t Nobody last week.

Sharon Osbourne said: “You are very exotic, your name is exotic and you sing pretty good too.”

Tamera was also exposed for tweeting about smoking marijuana laced with class-A drug PCP.

She said last month: “I’m upset and ashamed. I never meant to encourage or endorse the use of drugs. It’s no excuse, but this was months ago.”

Tamera also accepted a police caution for attacking 15-year-old Holly Wilks after smoking marijuana on Boxing Day.

She recently insisted she has changed her ways.

She said: “I’ve done a lot of growing up and I still have time to grow. I don’t want to be judged on my past – it’s what I’m doing now that really matters.”

An X Factor source said: “She has really improved since she has been in the
X Factor house.

“She is a really pleasant young lady. We believe she’s turned over a new leaf.”

A Kent Police spokesman confirmed officers attended the theft, adding: “The store dealt with the offences through restorative justice.”

yeah sure let's label her and hold a couple of incidents she's had in her teenage life against her forever, hell why don't we stone the bitch to death, after all she's just 'chavy scum'

She isn't the only person to have ever shoplifted and she won't be the last either, it's not something that should be held against your name forever because if anything that just leads to more detrimental consequences. She hardly robbed a bank or killed a child, she's apologised, so now let's have some perspective...

Yeah, is this the same girl that assaulted someone or do I have it totally wrong?

[Glenn.]

I'd hardly call the girl scum for stealing a bit of makeup. It's a bit extreme.

Yea you're right. Its only upstanding members of society that indulge in robbing.

MMM, I could cut her come slack if she did it before but to do it after being chosen for Boot Camp shows she is a bit of a dimwit.

You have completely misunderstood my logic, I could maybe understand her doing it if she was a bored kid with nothing to look forward to, doing it for kicks, but she had just been chosen to go to Boot Camp it must have entered her head that it might hinder her progress on the show if she was caught, so on that basis she is a total dimwit to even consider it never mind do it.
