X Factor finalist Danyl Johnson showed off his Superman tattoo on his right tricep this week, when spotted outside the X Factor house in North London. Previously kept under wraps, Danyl wasn't shy about showing it off and revealed his tattoo to the onlooking media frenzy by pointing to it.

Danyl admitted going under the needle several years ago, and writing on his official website, he said: 'I have a Superman tattoo on my right arm (big childhood fan).'

After a difficult week where he gave a below-par performance on Saturday, as well as being on the receiving end of a lot of negative press, it looks like Danyl is hoping the positive associations of his Superman tattoo will rub off on him.

Danyl was full of smiles and seemed to be back to his old self, following rehearsals for 'songs from the movies week'. Recent reports that Danyl topped the voting on last Saturdays live show may have given him the boost that he needs.

Rachel Adedeji, voted out last week, said Danyl is a popular member of the house, and told DigitalSpy.co.uk: 'Danyl is such a lovely man, really. He's just a normal bloke and he's not arrogant or anything like that, he's just Danyl.

'Either you like him or you don't, and I think he's great. He just enjoys what he does and he's a cool guy, everyone likes him in the house, he's lovely. People are getting him wrong now, but he's cool.'

In the latest X Factor betting news, it has been revealed that Danyl Johnson is now attracting big money bets, and Bookies are reportedly worried that a £5million gamble has been launched on the contestant to win the show.

The Daily Star said: "In terms of the numbers of bets, it's the twins. But the clever money - and the big money - is going on Danyl."

They added: "The professionals have placed some huge bets - five figures in places."

Paddy Power spokesman Darren Haines also said: "All our biggest bets have been on Danyl, many thousands of pounds in several cases.

These latest big money bets began after news leaked out about Danyl topping the votes in last weeks live show, despite his poor performance

The bookies source finished with: "Our fingers are crossed that Danyl trips up. Even if he makes the final it will be terrible news."

Terrible news for the bookies perhaps, but all of us here would be delighted if he won! Lets keep backing Danyl by voting in each week! Good luck for the weekend Danyl, we're all right behind you!
