Derren Brown to meet 'X Factor' Ethan?

Derren Brown wants to meet up with X Factor's Ethan Boroian, say tabloid reports.

According to The Mirror, the illusionist has requested guestlist tickets to Boroian's upcoming live show at London's Wandsworth Palais.

Brown has posted Twitter messages about his disappointment that the American singer was dumped out of the ITV1 show by Cheryl Cole on Sunday.

"Oh dear, my yearly love/hate infatuation with X Factor has kicked off. Poor Ethan Boroian, was rooting for him," he wrote.

"Will hold off on X Factor tweets but forgive me the odd one. I get very emotionally involved."

Borian thanked the 38-year-old for his comments, tweeting in response: "Thank you so much for the support Derren! Maybe you could do a mind trick and have Cheryl bring me back! Thanks again!

"You legend! Thank you so much for everything, honestly mean that from the bottom of my heart."
