More Spoilers from tomorrow night’s show. Stop reading now if you would rather be surprised!!!!
As the Manchester auditions draw to a close, spirits are low and the judges have had to deal with lots of disgruntled and angry contestants. The last contestant to audition is 67 year old retired gardener Johnny Rocco. Will Johnny be the man to give the judges something to smile about?
Johnny has been playing the pubs and clubs for years and believes now is his time to make it big. “I’ll make Louis Walsh kiss my feet,” Johnny proclaims before going in to face the judges. Singing Always on My Mind by Elvis, Louis can’t help himself from laughing. “You’re a great entertainer but you’re a pub entertainer.”
Johnny is incredulous at this news. “Noooo you’re joking, I’ve been offered work in Ireland, I’ve been offered work in Spain, I’ve worked in Majorca. Seriously, I can sing.” Louis firmly tells Johnny it’s a no which infuriates Mr Rocco who has a menacing glint in his eye. He growls, “I can’t believe it. I’ve got to say this, you’re talking stupid. Telling me I’m a pub singer? You don’t know what you’re on about. Well remember this before I go. Remember the name Johnny Rocco.” Sharon comments that Johnny sounds like a hit man for the mafia. Johnny then proceeds to point his finger closely at Louis and give him what sounds like a death threat in the style of an Italian Godfather. Louis is visibly shocked but is unsure whether to take it seriously. Sharon says “you were messing with the mafia there.” If Louis isn’t quaking in his boots by now, Simon ramps up the fear factor, saying “he’s just given you a death threat. That was a sign to the mafia worldwide to kill you.” Will Louis live to see another day after turning away this particular contestant?
