Cowell 'fed up with Danyl's behaviour'

Simon Cowell is reportedly annoyed with Danyl Johnson's behaviour.

The X Factor hopeful has reportedly irritated his mentor with threats to leave the show and requests to change his song choice.

Speaking on Real Radio, Simon's brother Tony explained that Johnson has "diva tendencies".

"Simon won't tolerate rudeness," he said. "We've had lots of problems over the past few weeks because the public perception of Danyl has been that he's a little bit cocky and that doesn't do him any favours.

"He is a little bit difficult and has these diva tendencies. Simon won't tolerate that kind of thing. It's not good for the show."

Meanwhile, a source reportedly told the Daily Star: "Simon is well used to dealing with divas. But the point is, enough is enough. There have been a few things going on in the house which Simon thinks are unacceptable. The diva tantrums don't set a very good example."

The X Factor continues tonight at 8pm on ITV1.
