Pressure is on for 'X Factor' finalists

Futureproof

The X Factor contestants are terrified about performing live to the nation for a second time.

Adam Chandler, who sings in boy band Futureproof, has admitted that the pressure of trying to impress the public has started to take its toll this week.

"Everybody is really, really nervous this week," Adam told the Daily Record. "Last week, we were all on a high because we'd made it to the finals and it was the first live show.

"But this week has been a bit of a reality check and we've had to knuckle down. Everybody is in pieces, it's pretty nerve-racking."

Chandler revealed that he has become close friends with rival singers Leon Jackson and Emily Nakanda.

"Leon's really worked on his vocals and has a good song and I reckon he's going to be one of the best performers this week," Adam explained. "Emily is lovely as well. She always gives me a little kiss when she comes off stage."
