X Factor - Jamie Afro gets Daryl Markham backing

Tuesday, 10 November 2009

People need to stop talking about Simon Cowell failing to save Lucie Jones and instead focus on the singers still left in the competition.

Stacey Solomon, Jamie Afro and Danyl Johnson are having to try and prepare for next Saturday under immense pressure as some people are claiming that the X Factor has lost all its credibility.

Daryl Markham is close to all the X Factor finalists after he appeared in the earlier stages of the competition and knows how they must be feeling right now.

Daryl hopes that John and Edward don't let the 'haters' make them quit the show as it wasn't their fault that Simon Cowell went to deadlock.

He says:"They are just two young boys living their dream. People forget that they are on their own in a goldfish bowl that is X Factor"

"They were nothing but polite and respectful to me and we use to sit and have breakfast together at bootcamp, they'd practice non stop and always tried their hardest to get it perfect. Others that I had a lot of time for were little Lloyd who was a lovely lad and very unassuming and also a credit to his parents.

"My biggest support however must go to Jamie. He is one of the nicest most genuine guys I have ever met and I really want him to go all the way! We keep in touch when we can as I know how hectic it is in the show!

"He is such a lovely bloke he really deserves all he gets and I can only pray that he gets what he deserves out of this."
