Lloyd Daniels looks set to sing on X Factor this weekend and is said to be recovering well from his earlier throat infection.

Lloyd was seen struggling when he was forced to sing in the bottom two last Sunday night and at the start of the week, rumours were rife that he would be too ill to sing this Saturday. However his mum says that although she would prefer him not to, Lloyd is determined to sing on Saturday.

The 41-year-old told Wales Online: “He’s supposed to rest his voice but I can see him panicking and practising songs in his room and making his throat worse.

“In a way I think we’d prefer him not to sing on Saturday so he can get better.

“He’s feeling low at the moment but when he sings this week, I want him to go out there and prove what he can do so he can get his dignity back.

“We want to thank everyone for their support.”
