Jamie Archer has admitted that he occasionally felt “demoralised” whilst taking part in The X Factor.

Jamie was voted off the show last night after singing for survival against 16 year old Lloyd Daniels. He told the Press Association that constant battles over his song choices made him realise that his “journey had come to an end”.

He said: “It was really demoralising for me, because it made me feel like ‘Is it me? Am I being difficult? No-one knows what to do with me – maybe there just aren’t any songs?’ but I just got on with it really.”

Jamie denied claims that he planned to quit the show saying:

“I didn’t say I was leaving, I just said ‘Maybe it’s the wrong show for me’. It was after we did Unchained Melody and we tried it, and I had to change my song last minute.

“I said at this point ‘Maybe this show isn’t really the right show for me because we keep having to change my song, which means we quite clearly don’t know what to do with me’.”
