'X Factor' Danyl 'makes Stacey cry'

X Factor contestant Danyl Johnson has reportedly upset Stacey Solomon.

Solomon was left in tears when the teacher made a comment about her family, The People claims.

"Everyone's tired and stressed and despite all the smiles for the cameras, there's been a lot of sniping and bickering," a source said. "But no-one expected Danyl to be quite so nasty, especially to Stacey - she wouldn't hurt a fly.

"It blew up out of nothing. Danyl and Stacey were having a disagreement when he blurted out a really vicious comment. It was directed at something very close to Stacey and her family's heart and was not something you'd expect anyone in this day and age to say.

"Danyl needs to be careful - and he needs to apologise."

An X Factor spokesperson said: "There was a minor tiff between Danyl and Stacey but everything is alright now."

Johnson has previously been described as a "bully" by judge Louis Walsh, while former contestants Kandy Rain branded him "fake" and "arrogant".
