Report commentOf all the X-Factor stars past and present Danyl is my personal favourite and many of my public sector co-workers too. He does a lot of good charity work for Reading and for that alone (nevermind his musical genius) deserves praise. Danyl I salute you sir!

Report commentI often surmise Danyl is the only decent celeb Reading has to offer. Winslet; face like the Titanic. Gervais; all the money couldn't buy him a Weight Watcher's membership. Danyl on the other hand has it all; the tunes, the looks, the human angle. One day Danyl will be where Cowell is now and obviously with far better taste.
