After facing repeated verbal attacks from X Factor judge Louis Walsh, semi finalist Danyl Johnson has said that he doesn’t care what the Irish manager thinks.

Talking about Danyl this week Louis said:

“I don’t like him as a person, but as a performer he’s great. He’s got this bad vibe – he came in a bit sure of himself. Unlike everybody else, he’s been around the block, singing in karaoke competitions around London and he’s picked up a lot of habits from that.”

But speaking to The Daily Star today, Danyl revealed that he is trying to ignore Louis’ negativity.

“I don’t care what Louis says” he admitted. He has never liked me. Simon is my mentor, so as long as he is happy that’s all that matters.”
