Four piece vocal group, Harmony Hood have been given a second chance on this year’s X Factor.

Ryan Stilwell, Charlie Healy, Abbee Pule and YaniQue Takara Byrne were sent home from bootcamp, only to be recalled when a rival group were found to breaking application rules.

One of the members the other band was found to be only 15. X Factor rules state that the minimum entrance age is 16.

A source told The Mirror about the rule break, “The girls were filmed being told they hadn’t made it through after all. One of them was just 15 and had lied on her application form which was a serious breach of the rules.”

The insider added, “The girls were in floods of tears afterwards but the bottom line is they broke the rules.”

However the teenager’s loss was Harmony Hood’s gain.

A show source told The Sun, “The band are thrilled they’ve been given a second chance.

“They feel sorry for the other band but they’re determined to make the most of the opportunity.”
