Britain's Got Torment![[edit] | [edit source]]
The main story was of Nina, a local girl who was kicked off Britain's Got Talent for allegedly poisoning a fellow contestant. The Eleventh Doctor had read the story and commented that her "emotional journey" was "quite inspiring". The story was continued on page 3. (TV: Closing Time [+]Loading...["Closing Time (TV story)"])
- Police investigate allegations that local teenager poisoned fellow Britain's Got Talent contestant.
- {The first part of the article is illegible} strained over the past few weeks, as both girls battled to establish their place as "the cooky, {illegible}" singer of the competition. Insiders have said the girls didn't feel there was room for both of them in the show, and what began as mild mannered backstage sniping had turned into something more serious.
- Both Nina and Josie-D looked as if butter wouldn't melt as they crooned out their latest songs on Saturday's show, but behind the scenes they were spitting like alley cats and the claws were out. Insults were flying along with accusations that Josie-D was stealing Nina's style, and that she'd sent her friends out to follow Nina on a recent shopping expedition to buy up every item of clothing that Nina had her hands on. Josie-D denies the accusation, but Nina has a point that the girls have been wearing strikingly similar outfits through the early stages of the competition.
- With the final stages of the competition looming, the girls' tactics got dirty, and rumours were rife of Nina's drug habit and Josie-Ds, shall we say, liberal attitude to relationships. Both girls have denied every story that the other has tried to spread about them, but last Wednesday their rivalry really heated up. After developing a throat infection, show medics advised Josie-D to administer a basic antiseptic spray 4 times a day. Nina claimed that Josie-D wasn't ill at all, but just being an attention seeker and trying to excuse a poor performance, but in return Josie-D claimed that Nina had tampered with her medication before Saturday's show and added household bleach to the throat spray.
- Nina was devastated by the accustations, but tests on the spray revealed that it had indeed been tampered with. Unable to prove that she wasn't responsible, the show's producers decided that enough was enough and Nina would have to leave the show. Josie-D's allegations are so series that they are now subject of a police investigation. Unfortunately {the rest of the article is illegible}
