Sinitta warns Cheryl to 'lay off' Danyl

by Daily Gossip Nov 8th 2009 3:12AM

Danyl Johnson listens to the judges' comments on last week's show

Last week was certainly a tough week for X Factor hopeful Danyl Johnson. Having been in the bottom two the previous week and having to deal with some seriously unpleasant online comments, he proceeded to sing Aerosmith classic Don't Wanna Miss a Thing largely in the wrong key.

But guess who's stepped up to defend young Danyl – yes, it's everybody's favourite Simon Cowell cling-on, Sinitta.

In fact, Sinitta is so upset by Cheryl Cole's behaviour towards the singer that she's claiming he was close to a Susan Boyle style meltdown.

Speaking to the News of the World, Sinitta said: "It's outrageous for Cheryl to target him personally. It's out of order and just mean.

"There is NOTHING to justify these comments that he's not likeable, that he's not a nice person, that he's a horrible guy.

"Not everyone can turn you on and be your favourite – but to show your personal distaste just because you don't like the person they are is quite hideous. It's not fair."

She went on: "He's had all the Susan Boyle-type hype and people were going crazy about him. Then he's had to put up with being vilified and told he's more hated than Hitler.

"That's very difficult to take for a young man who has been celebrated then turned against."

We don't really remember the 'celebrated' bit but have to concede that the Hitler comment was probably going a bit far.

But Sinitta, having moved on from Dannii-hating, has switched her attentions to the woman she dubs "Miss Cheryl Tweedy-pie", saying: "It's all very well to do her big eyes and say, 'Be gentle with me Simon.' But behind his back she's trying to win.

"He's trying not to be sucked in. He's saying, 'Yes, you are adorable but guess what? I want to win too!'

"It would be his worst nightmare for Cheryl to win. There is that competition there.

"Can you imagine? No1 single, No1 album, favourite judge and two-time winner of The X Factor? She might be a little smug and I don't think he could stomach it."

By "he" we're guessing she actually means herself.

Simon and Cheryl both make our list of the top reality show judges...

I think Cheryl's comment on Danyl are quite fair - the voice was not up to scratch (and Danyl really does has the potential to be excellent) - but getting personal with him is another matter, she should not be mean about his personality/ character.

Are Cheryl and Danni (Danni and her jibe over his sexuality) ganging up on Danyl?

- Lets not forget that now we know Cheryl as a sweet lady, but 5 years ago she beat a African toilet attendant to a pulp and was part of a trial for Battery, Grievous Bodily Harm, and Racially aggravated Grievous Boduily Harm - CCTV, The British Justice System - can all vouch for her so - called "character" - so is she an appropriate person to judge? Can you really take her seriously?

One punch, not really beaten her to a pulp!
And tony, Cheryl won with the rest of Girls Aloud, a very similar singing competition so one thing we do know is that she is a " good singer". The public voted for her! I hate the way she has let her personal feelings for Dannyl get in the way of her judging, what happened to " I would take you in my category right now, " in his first audition.

Is the problem that, asked in interview whether he would date Cheryl or Dannii, Danyl chose Dannii, saying that he thought she would be more interesting? I'm sure he didn't mean any slight on Cheryl’s personality. So get over it, girl.

At this stage of the comp when it's down to the public vote. (if you ignor the fact they kept the option to keep in their favorite out of the bottom two.)
I feel there is know reason to be rude about or put down any of the contestent's.

Cheryl Cole is just a moronic bully. Remember her roots and, of course, that wonderful husband of hers. She has made a lot of money - purely because of her face. I didn't like Dannii initially but now I have certainly changed my mind - she has class, a good upbringing and has had a career since her childhood days. Not a talentless common woman from a deprived area in the north of England.

"deprived area in the north of England" You couldn't be more stuck up if you tried. Must be a nice view from your high horse.
Snooty witch.

It's pretty amazing how the public can turn on people.
What's even more amazing is when the judges do it, as we've seen with the horrible things that Amanda Holden and Sharon Osbourne have done to Susan Boyle.
Why would anyone still want to enter a talent show knowing the abuse they'll receive? They're not very good for your health.

Cheryl is very pretty, but not inside. She threw Louis' sexuality in his face on ITV2 and was very spiteful to Danyl. She bullies, but snivels and can't take criticism.

She will be exposed for what she is in time, Simon beware!

What do you expect from a talentless 'Maccam' with a speech impediment??? Tweedy is still, at heart, a street tyke.

I have lived in Switzerland for 38 years and could you please enlighten me as to what is a 'Maccam'? I don't understand this kind of language.

I dont really care about the arguments as long as the twins win. They are great singers and highly talented guys, so more power to Louis and the boys.

At the end of the day talent will always shine through!!!!!!

Following Toinght result
I will no longer be watching the X factor.
Nothing against john and Edd but Simon Even said before the two contestants sang it would be on that evenings performance. Lucy was Top class and deserved to be back next week. J and E have had fun and I think SC used tactics to get rid of a better singer than any of his boys.

No more for me I am affraid. Oh one last thing Leona Lewis was fantastic.
