The Story So Far…

* The feedback he got from the judges was very positive, with Sinitta telling him that she ‘couldn’t take her eyes off him’. Brian commented that he has a ‘soothing’ voice, while David Gest called him an ‘inspiration’.

* Danny arrived at Bootcamp and performed well in the dance class, with the choreographer picking him out as having real potential.

* After David Gest had heard him sing ‘Your Song’ he thought he was fantastic.

* Danny was put through to the next day with David Ian saying he was ‘great’. He was, however, a little concerned by Danny’s physical condition adding that he needed to get into shape.

* Sinitta thought he was a ‘lovely sweet Danny’ while David Ian believed he gave a ‘truthful performance, was a gentleman but the pairing didn’t work’.

* On the final day of Bootcamp Lauren and Danny performed ‘Against All Odds’, which the judges thought they executed well. David Ian said that Danny started really strong, with a great tone.

* All the panelists agreed that the two looked really good together, and decided Danny and Lauren should be a couple for the live shows

History

* Danny was born in Scarborough in 1984.

* He currently lives with three friends from college in a rented flat.

* He is engaged to be married to Hayley, his girlfriend of three years, and they plan to marry on a beach in Cuba.

* Danny has suffered with a stammer for most of his life but when he sings and acts it seems to go.

* As well as appearing in local theatre productions he also sings in local bars and clubs.

* Danny is currently in America where he is undergoing a specialist operation to try and reduce the stammer. When he comes to London for the live shows, Danny hopes that this will have helped to improve his stammer.
