3am: Sinead's bid looks cursed.

Byline: Jessica Callan, Niki Waldegrave, Suzanne Kerins

SINEAD Quinn fears she could have blown her chances of Fame Academy glory because of a foul-mouthed outburst on live TV.

The gorgeous 22-year-old from Co Fermanagh was unaware that she had been criticised by viewers for frequently swearing during live broadcasts from the house.

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, she revealed: "I really have tried to tone down my language over the last few weeks. I had no idea there was an uproar about my bad language because we don't get any newspapers in here.

"I really hope that it doesn't ruin my chances of winning - more importantly, my mum is going to kill me when I get out!

"When you are in there it's really easy to forget that there are cameras following you around 24/7. I'm not proud of myself for swearing and I actually thought I had managed to tone it down a bit."

Sinead has out-lasted nine of her house mates and will compete in the final show on Friday where she could land a pounds 1million record deal.
