X Factor hopeful Chloe Jasminehas turned down a part in HBOTV series Game Of Thrones.

The ITV show's press team confirmed that the sultry singer snubbed "a very small role" in the fantasydrama.

Shooting on the fifth series of GOT has already begun (without Chloe) and will air next spring. Meanwhile, following a mixed reaction from fans, Chezza has been forced to defend her decision to take Chloe to Judges' Houses.

She told The Sun: "A lot of girls sang amazingly but it gets boring.You would get to week three of the live shows and you would be like, 'OK you can sing very well, but I wouldn't want to watch you in concert.'

"I'm always thinking who could be a star. Chloe might divide opinion, but once people get to know her you can't help but like her."

The I Don't Care singer added: "She is mesmerising and just fascinating. I've never known anyone quite like her.

"She is very insecure and it's a bit of a front at times with all the carrying on."
