X FACTOR wannabe Emma Chawner and her family are being booted out of their home after neighbours complained about wild karaoke nights, abusive arguments and noisy pets.

The Chawner family have just four weeks to find somewhere to live after a judge allowed Six Town Housing to evict them from their council house in Lancaster Avenue following a three-day hearing at Bury Magistrates’ Court.

Hairdressing student Emma hit the headlines last year when Simon Cowell mocked her homemade dress and blasted her performance of Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On, saying she sang ‘like a baby’.

The 19-year-old braved the judges again for the latest series with a change of song and a new outfit, but failed to impress once more.

In August 2007 the family admitted 17 offences of rowdiness and were given a postponed possession order allowing them to stay in their property providing no further complaints were made against them.

Since then there have been an additional 134 allegations of nuisance behaviour, including playing loud music and singing late at night, foul and threatening language directed towards their neighbours, banging on walls and a constantly barking dog.

The family insist they are innocent and that they will appeal against the decision. Dad Philip Chawner, aged 53, said: “We are not happy with what is going on and I don’t think that we have been treated fairly.”

He claims the family didn’t know what they were doing when they previously admitted nuisance behaviour allegations.

“We were forced into signing papers that we didn’t fully understand and now we have been told that we’ve breached the contract,” said Mr Chawner.

“If we are supposed to be making all this noise then why didn’t the council install sound monitors in the house?”

Emma, sister Samantha, aged 20, mum Audrey, aged 57, and Philip have four weeks to leave their three-bedroom semi-detached house, where they have lived for nearly five years.

Since moving to the area, the family claim to have been assaulted by residents and say they have suffered verbal abuse and vandalism.

A council spokesperson said: “At the recent hearing, the judge was satisfied that there had been substantial breaches of the tenancy agreement.

He recognised that Six Town Housing had been fair and equitable in its dealings with the family and had taken all necessary steps to prove the case.

“The Chawner family have been in touch with the homelessness prevention team and they have been allocated a support worker from ‘Places for People’ and their individual needs will be now be fully assessed to determine their housing need.”
