  Blind Popstars reject gets second chance
Updated 09 October 2002, 19.37
Andrew Coleman didn't make it on Popstars 2
One of the stars of Popstars 2 who didn't make the final 10 could still become a star after being snapped up by a record producer.

Andrew Coleman, who is almost blind because of glaucoma, started a massive row on the show between judges Pete and Louis.

They couldn't agree on whether he should have been ruled out of the programme because of his blindness.

In the end he didn't make it, but has been given a second chance by producer Robin Millar - who is also blind.

Millar heard Coleman sing when they were both on a BBC Radio 4 programme and said he got goosepimples when he belted out Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

Millar added that the two would hopefully work on some tracks in a studio soon and try and get a record out before Christmas.
