Mark's sis to be in x-factor final stages

Good Luck to her!

Mark's sis X-cels.

Tracey Owen aims to follow in the footsteps of her brother Mark from Take That. The budding singer was determined to shine for the judges after being inspired by 36-year-old Mark's huge boyband success. LOVED.
So she was delighted when she impressed the panel - Simon Cowell, Cheryl, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh. They told her: "We want you back. For good!"

Now Tracey, from Manchester, has gone through the X Factor boot camp where the judges whittle numbers down to their faves for the live show. And insiders claim she is good enough to reach the final stages of the contest.

A show source said: "Tracey is very down to earth. She tried not to play on the fact she is Mark's sister because of the expectations that would bring. But word leaked to the judges. "Luckily for her, they loved her." Auditions are now nearly over and the ITV series is due to return to our screens next month.
