Danyl Johnson threatens to quit The X Factor

X Factor hopeful Danyl Johnson "stormed" out of rehearsals for Saturday night's show after rowing with Simon Cowell, according to a report.

Sources told a tabloid newspaper that Danyl "hated" Cowell's choice of George Michael's `Praying for Time' and he allegedly "erupted in fury" while participating in a vocal coaching session with Yvie Burnett.

Insiders have claimed that Johnson is threatening to quit the finals unless Cowell gives him another song to perform.

A source told the Daily Mirror: "He literally burst out the door and ran off down Battersea High Street.

"A few production staff chased after him to try to calm him down and make him come back but he was having none of it.

"They even sent a car to follow him and try to make him see sense and return but he refused.

"He seems very angry and upset and is demanding a different song. It'll be interesting to see if Simon backs down or makes him stick with it."

Show sources are concerned that Danyl's outburst will alienate him from the public.

One said: "He's not doing himself any favours with stunts like this which just make him look like a spoilt brat. Even if the song choice is wrong there's no need to storm out, he should talk about it first."

    Good Riddance! Danyl may have a brilliant voice but he's been acting the Diva from the start. I hope that Cowell DOESN'T back down. There is absolutely no need for this behaviour - especially from an adult - and as was pointed out in the article, he could have discussed the matter instead of "spitting the dummy". Apparently the same thing happened with Jamie (re song choice) but he got on with it, like it or not.
