1. You have closed off some of the gaps, but not all of them. Make sure all are closed.

2. Make sure you are using the Fuzzy Select tool (not the Color Select Tool) to select the background.

3. The gray background is quite similar to the white in the image, so use a low threshold for the Fuzzy Select Tool. About 3.

4. The gray background is not a single colour, but has a slight gradient. So put the Fuzzy Select Tool into "Add to current selection" mode. Click the background several times (about 5 or 6) to get all the background selected.
