Danyl: 'I can still win 'The X Factor'

X Factor hopeful Danyl Johnson has claimed that being in the bottom two last week didn't affect him.

Johnson ended up in the sing-off with Miss Frank last week, but was saved when it was announced that the girlband had received fewer public votes.

Speaking to The People, the teacher insisted that the experience had made him stronger.

"I'm not bothered," he said. "It won't stop me from winning the show. I'm fine, I will be fine in the coming weeks and it hasn't affected my confidence whatsoever. It was a bit of a shock to me but I got through it and it has made me stronger."

Johnson also praised his mentor Simon Cowell for supporting him.

"Simon knows talent when he sees it and hopefully he can make me into a star," he said. "Having him behind me has given me a huge advantage. Simon was shocked when I was in the bottom two - he didn't think I should have been.

"I have been working this week the same as I have been every other week and I'm looking forward to getting back on the stage for another chance."

On last night's show, judge Dannii Minogue claimed that Johnson had "lost his mojo", while Cheryl Cole said that it was apparent that he had suffered a "massive dent to his confidence".

The X Factor results show is on tonight at 8pm on ITV1.
