Irish Popstars "Six" still only five...

The latest Irish Pop sensation Six have finally been chosen from the RTE TV show Popstars... but there are still only five!!

After eight weeks and 5,000 auditions in four centers around the country, the six Popstars were finally chosen and shown the Irish press on Sunday night.

However, in the final episode it emerged that one of the Popstars, Nadine Coyle, referred to in episode 1 by Louis Walsh , as "a little Dana" was in fact underage for the pop act.

Six... ahem, well five of them anyways

The age limit of eighteen years old is an integral part of the Popstars format and is strictly adhered to. This is in order to ensure that those chosen are mature enough to take the pressure and commitments that go with being in a pop act.

The age restriction was featured in all promotional material around the auditions and every release form/contract that the auditioned signed.

It emerged that Nadine is in fact sixteen and a half years of age (DOB 15.06.85) and is therefore ineligible to be part of the Popstars act.

Nadine was then told she had to leave the band.

Louis said "Nadine has great potential, however she knew, as did all the other 4,999 that auditioned for Popstars that the age limit was 18 and there would be no exceptions to this rule".

On January 20th a new Popstar to replace Nadine will be announced.

Already rumours are rife in Dublin that the sixth member will be female and called... Shelly??
