Lloyd Daniels 'threatens to quit X Factor'

Lloyd Daniels has reportedly threatened to quit The X Factor.

According to the Daily Mail, the Welsh singer was upset by comments from judge Louis Walsh when he escaped the bottom two at the weekend.

Walsh said: "I can't believe Lloyd is still here."

He later added on The Xtra Factor: "'I thought it would have been Lloyd in the bottom two because he's been there, like, three times. Olly [Murs] did not deserve to be in the bottom two."

Daniels is said to have broken down in tears after the programme and told producers: "I'm going, I can't carry on."

A show insider claimed: "Lloyd was in a terrible state after the show. It has got a bit too much for him. Being told that you belong in the bottom two is devastating for any of the contestants and Lloyd is really young.

"Also, when he was not put into the bottom two, the audience started booing loudly, which is a lot to take on for a young lad.

"He will be okay, he just had a knock on Sunday night and the pressure is really on. After all, there's only three weeks left on the show."
