X Factor judges are allegedly planning to force Danyl Johnson off the show after he was warned to watch his behaviour earlier this week.

If the singer is in the bottom two tonight the judges may take the opportunity to vote him out of the contest as he has shown he is unable to cope with the pressure, reports the News of the World.

A source told the paper: ”They have to judge Danyl’s performance in the sing-off, but they can’t totally overlook how he’s acted this week.

“They’re looking for an international popstar and he’s proved he can’t handle the pressure and doesn’t have the personality to deal with tricky situations.

“Louis and Cheryl were starting to warm to Danyl, but it’s back to square one now. They think he’s acted in a completely unprofessional manner.

“You don’t see Alexandra Burke or Leona Lewis storming out of practice. The judges think it’s incredibly childish.

“He’s acting like a spoilt brat, even though they’ve given him an amazing opportunity.

“It’s hard for them to completely block out all the stories they’re hearing. All the other contestants, who are younger than him, are managing so it’s not good that he’s not.”

The X Factor continues tonight on ITV 1.
