Axed: Former X Factor contestant Treyc Cohen performs in Warrington during the town's Christmas lights switch-on


She was controversially axed from the X Factor in favour of Katie Waissel earlier this month.

And now Treyc Cohen has been dealt a further blow - after she was dumped from the show's spin-off tour.

Former contestant Aiden Grimshaw, however - who was axed a week after Treyc - WILL be included in the tour line-up.

And not only will the snub make a huge dent in Treyc's pride - it will leave the 26-year-old thousands of pounds out of pocket.

Last year the top eight contestants went on a 57-date tour, netting around £100,000 each.

Treyc, from Tamworth in Staffordshire, last night performed in front of thousands in Warrington, Cheshire, as she switched the town's Christmas lights on.


Snub: Treyc will not appear on the X Factor tour


But after being left out of the best-selling tour, she now faces the prospect of slipping into a life of obscurity.

More than 2,000 viewers complained when Treyc was voted out of the show on November 7 after finishing in the bottom two with Katie.

She was shown the door despite singing an excellent rendition of Toni Braxton's Unbreak My Heart in the sing-off, after Cheryl Cole refused to vote.

Former contestant Aiden, however, who was voted out of the show on November 14 will get the opportunity to bask in the limelight.

A show insider said bosses had been expecting to take ten acts on tour, but now it will be just nine - meaning Aiden scrapes in, but Treyc is left out in the cold.

Aiden, who was last night spotted out in central London nightclub Whisky Mist with the show's creative director Brian Friedman, left on Sunday after his own sing-off with controversial Katie.

The vote went to deadlock and Katie was saved, much to the surprise of the contestants, judges and audience.

A spokeman for the tour told Mail Online: 'It's not about having Aiden instead of Treyc - it's the final eight that will go on tour. It was eight last year as well.'
