Warren Kelly certainly made an impression on the X Factor audience this week. He was the high kicking performer who ended his routine by doing very painful looking full splits!

Warren was interviewed by the X Factor team, and here’s what he said:

What was your reaction to Simon’s comments…?
I wouldn’t get any work were I really as rubbish as Simon told me I was. Sharon said she loved me and gave me a ‘Yes’. She told me I reminded her of Chico…! I guess I’m just more of a stage performer. I sing and dance. I just wasn’t what Simon was looking for.

What is next for you…?
I’m in panto this year and am preparing for that. It’s Jack and The Beanstalk in a theatre near Warrington. Panto is my background. I’ve been doing it since I was 4. I’m always the one dancing behind the stars…!

Have you been in panto with many celebrities…?
We get lots of celebrities in panto but my favourite was Julie Goodyear from Coronation St. She was great. I loved performing with her.

How did you react when Tony (The X Factor bouncer) ‘helped’ you out of the audition room…?
I was a bit scared but I wasn’t going to run out of the room. I wanted to hold my head high and ride off. But I was a bit worried that he was going to bang into my legs and they’re my livliehood…! I should get them insured.

Would you audition next year…?
Yes, because Sharon was really nice but Simon would have to go. I’d audition were it Sharon and Pete Waterman. He’d love me…!

Assuming the singing doesn’t take off, is there any other career you’d want…?
I’d love to be a TV presenter. I’m quite quick at come-backs and I love talking to people. I’d be great. Definitely.
