she is fighting it apparently....I can think of more deserving people to deport

It's pretty disgusting that it was in the papers before the family had even been notified.

Cheryl cole should be ashamed of herself. Turning her back on this girl and now shes been deported. Its alright for her swanning off to LA all the time, I really dont know how she sleeps at night.

Can't agree Dave Was In a Cave,  Simon Cowell is the one who makes the big bucks out of the whole thing and ultimately, his record company would have tied Gamu to a contract.  Contestants are under his wing.  All she is, is a mentor. 

I don't know what pull Cheryl Cole's supposed to have with the Home Office.  My guess would be none whatsoever - and that's how it should be.  We can't have showbiz personalities being able to pull strings for their commercial interests.  Gamu's case background is well known and will have been argued better than most in her position. 

Gamu's mother broke her conditions with Scotland's Fresh Talent scheme by claiming certain benefits - a harsh decision on Gamu herself.  I doubt many people would defend people immigrating to the UK and claiming benefits they were prohibited from claiming under their immigration agreement.

Yes,someone working in the Gov.dept must have informed the press..pathetic

Cheryl didnt put her through to the live stages. Getting kicked off x factor when your getting deported, talk about kicking a girl when shes down. No wonder shes hated on this forum, shes a disgrace.
