X factor finalist Andy Williams has admitted that he may consider quitting music altogether if he is voted off the X Factor early in the series.

“I’ve always had a bit of a problem with nerves, and I haven’t conquered it yet,” he said.

“I’ll just have to pretend I’m somewhere else rather than singing live – like singing in the shower!”

Andy confessed he might return to his job as an asbestos remover if he didn’t do well in the finals.

“I’d try to keep focused on my music, but it would be really hard,” he said. “So I’m hoping I don’t get voted out.”

“I’ll just have to try and keep my mind off the fact that I’m performing for 10 million people – it’s not much pressure really!”
