'X Factor's Andy refuses to blame Dannii

Axed hopeful Andy Williams has refused to blame Dannii Minogue for his X Factor downfall.

The 24-year-old from South Wales was eliminated from the ITV1 talent hunt on Saturday after failing to impress the public with his rendition of Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Cars', a song Sharon Osbourne described as "too rock" for him.

However, Williams insisted that Minogue shouldn't take full responsibility for his ill-advised rock makeover, telling DS: "I did want that song choice though, along with Dannii, so I can't grumble about that.

"She was an amazing mentor. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else because she genuinely cared and was devastated when I didn't get through," he added. "She said she felt absolutely s**t because she feels like she's let me down and crushed my dreams, you know."
