Lloyd Daniels’s grandmother Joan Morgan has hit out at X Factor judge Louis Walsh for being ‘mean’ to her grandson.

When Walsh was choosing between Olly and Jedward on Sunday night, he claimed that it should have been Lloyd in the sing off.

Morgan told the South Wales Echo: “I’m so pleased for Lloyd and think he really deserved to go through and not be in the sing-off as he really improved this week.

“But what Louis said was mean and totally unnecessary. Lloyd is only 16 and still developing as a singer. I thought he was more confident and comfortable this week. The judges said so.”

She added: “He’s loving every minute of his time there and I really think he could make it to the final.”
