You can use Filter>Extract to highlight the object, then fill it with the bucket. When you're happy with the selection, press OK. Then, grab the eraser tool and rub off any artefacts that are left, and then feather it by just a bit (select>feather). Afterwards, select the selection's inverse (ctrl/cmd+shift+i) and then hit delete.

Hope this helps
