Danyl Johnson ‘threatens to quit’ X Factor

Danyl Johnson has dramatically threatened to quit the X Factor because he is unhappy with the song chosen for him by Simon Cowell.

Danyl has been given the George Michael track Praying For Time to sing on Saturday night – and he aint too happy about it.

Yesterday he angrily stormed out of rehearsals, threatening to turn his back on the show unless Simon Cowell changes his song.

A shocked insider told the Daily Mirror: ‘He literally burst out of the door and ran off down Battersea High Street.

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

‘He seemed 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.’

Last night, Danyl was thought to be at Sony BMG offices in London holding crisis talks with Simon Cowell.

The news is unlikely to do him any favours with the public, who he has struggled to win over on account of his cocky behaviour.
