Daniel Evans - X Factor 2008

Daniel Evans has revealed that he had the support of the British Prime Minister during his time on the X Factor.

Simon Cowell was ridiculously critical of Daniel week after week and claimed that only the votes from pensioners were keeping him on the show.

But in a letter to Daniel, awarded during Saturday night’s Xtra Factor the PM wrote: “Can I say that the next time Simon says that you are only supported by the over-60s, you can tell him that my wife Sarah and I disagree, although you would be better off mentioning Sarah rather than me, as she is much further away from 60 than I am!”

I’m not too sure what good that will do Daniel’s street cred, but it must have been nice to hear.
