Monday, 28 September 2009
The trio were shown celebrating getting to the final 24 on Sunday night's show with Louis Walsh mentoring the groups category.
But according to the Daily Star, the girls will be replaced next week when one of the members is revealed to have lied about her age, and is only 15.
The newspaper reported they will be replaced by four-piece Harmony Hood, who will go up against girlbands Miss Frank, Project A and Kandy Rain and duos De-Tour and Irish twins John And Edward.
In the other categories, Cheryl Cole is mentoring the 16-25 boys, including Lloyd Daniels, 16, Ethan Boroian, 19, Joseph McElderry, 18, Duane Lamonte, 24, Daniel Fox, 19, and Rikki Lonley, 21.
Dannii Minogue is mentoring the girls, made up of Welsh singer Lucie Jones, 18, Despina Pilavakis, 20, Nicole Jackson, 19, former S-Club Junior Stacey McLean, 20, Essex mum Stacey Soloman, 19, and Rachel Adedeji, 18.
Simon Cowell is mentoring the over 25s, including mohawk-haired Daniel Pearce, 31, teacher Danyl Johnson, 27, Treyc Cohen, 25, Olly Murs, 25, Nicole Lawrence, 31, and Jamie 'Afro' Archer, 34.
The contestants next travel to the judges' houses, where they will be cut down to the final 12.
Louis Walsh will rely on Boyzone's Ronan Keating to assist him in finding his three groups.
Simon Cowell will be joined by Sinitta in Los Angeles, while Dannii Minogue is travelling to Dubai with the girls and her sister Kylie as her judging partner.
Cheryl Cole, who is mentoring the boys, has reportedly requested the help of Will Young.
