Daniel Pearce has admitted that his history with reality TV band ‘One True Voice’ has tarnished his singing career ever since.

Daniel, who will appear on this Saturday’s X Factor show, told The Sun: “Going on the reality show was a huge decision because it didn’t go according to plan last time.

“I’ve been trying to make it as a solo artist but the barrier of One True Voice always comes up. We were seen as a flop and I was tarnished with that brush.

“When I won Popstars I thought that was it. But it all started going downhill very quickly.”
