Online bookmakers Ladbrokes has revealed that last week’s X Factor favourite Danyl Johnson will most probably spend the rest of competition fighting for survival.

For whichever reason, it appears that the public either just do not like him or they had previously believed that he will do well enough on his own that he doesn’t need their support, but either way, just £50 has been bet on the old favourite winning the X Factor since he was landed in the bottom two this week.

Recent negative media reports and an apparent heir of "arrogance" have gone against Danyl, and he now has a large problem in turning around his X Factor fortunes. In the last week alone, just £50 has been bet on the old favourite winning X Factor, where previously he was favourite.

However, he still does not look likely to get the boot this week being priced at 12/1, but it seems that if fans want him in they are going to have to start showing their support by voting in.

Rachel is looking most likely to go on Sunday, after she escaped singing for survival for the first time last week, but bookies think that she is unlikely to survive again, making her favourite to go priced at 2/1.

A spokesman from Ladbrokes explained, "Danyl’s plight came as a real shock. It’s knocked punters faith in him – We can’t give him away at the moment."

Despite the drop in popularity, Danyl is backed at joint second favourite and is priced at 4/1 to win the show with Joe McElderry as favourite priced at 7/2.

And reported in todays Daily Star, they claim Danyl has turned rival Stacey Solomon into a sobbing wreck.

He told her she has been branded a bad mum and that seedy stories about her sex life are doing the rounds. And he has been accused of targeting the vulnerable single mum as his own popularity sinks.

Insiders say Stacey, 20, is already “in bits” at being separated from her 18-month-old son Zach. And she has been stung by hurtful stories that she is a bad mum for leaving the tot at home.

A show source said: “Stacey was adamant when she moved into the X Factor house that she did not want to read or hear any stories about herself. “She got terribly upset when people had a go at her for being away from her son and saying she should be ‘a proper mum’.

“She didn’t expect all this horrible bullying. But Danyl has just ignored her wishes and he can’t help blabbing when he sees an article about her in the paper. It upsets her and can put her off her performance.”

Here at DanylAJohnson.com we can't say that we think there's much truth in these stories, but we have to appreciate the effect that all this negative press could have on him. We're still backing him though, and hope that you all are too. Keep voting!
