New twist in 'X-Factor' controversy around Nhengu

Cheryl Cole was reportedly told not to put Gamu Nhengu through to the 'X Factor' finals because of visa worries.

The Zimbabwe-born singer - who failed to be selected by mentor Cole for her final three, despite delivering a flawless performance - is said to be awaiting a renewal of her visa, and ITV1 bosses fear if it is refused, the entire series could be plunged into chaos.
