Andy Abraham has warned ‘X Factor’ contestant Robert Allen to calm down or he risks being voted off the show.

Andy said: “I think Robert needs to calm down his enthusiasm. I think what Simon Cowell said is right - sometimes he can come across a bit comical.

“The songs and performances are great, but the jumping about he needs to stop.”

Andy, who is releasing his second album, ‘Soul Man’, this month added: “I think if the soul angle worked for me there is no reason why it can’t work for him. There is space for somebody else.”
