Danyl Johnson

David Furnish has admitted that he was disappointed when Danyl Johnson got eliminated from The X Factor.

Furnish, whose long term partner is Elton John, added that he wasn’t sure why the judges were so hard on the 26 year old.

PA quote Furnish as saying: “I was very sad when Danyl got voted out – he was my favourite choice so I’m having to re-evaluate the final acts now to see who I’m going to back but I was very sad to see him go, I thought he was great.”

He added:

“I think he had a tough time from judges, because he has the X Factor, he’s an incredible singer, he’s a genuine talent and he has a real personality and I was sad to see him voted out.”
