Derren Brown: 'Danyl deserves to win'
Tuesday, November 3 2009, 15:52 GMT

By Mayer Nissim, Entertainment Reporter


Rex Features
Derren Brown has said that he hopes Danyl Johnson wins this year's X Factor.

The illusionist, who appeared as a guest on last weekend's Xtra Factor, wrote on his official blog that he is a big fan of the singer.

Brown said: "Danyl is delightful. If he is at all cocky then he shares it with the other over-25s.

"All the contestants have been thrown into the same revolting world of instant celebrity that ruins so many, and they all deal with it according to their means.

"The older singers just seem to lap it up a little more. They are already acting like celebrities in a way that the younger ones are not."

He added: "Of course to a public that feels (probably wrongly) that they are creating these stars, there is something more endearing about the baffled humility of the younger contestants.

"Tricky as it certainly is, we should be able to allow the older chaps to enjoy their fame and the celebrity that we're supposedly handing them.

"It would be nice to enjoy it through them rather than resent it. We really don't own them."

Brown has previously written about his "love/hate infatuation" with The X Factor.

In his Blog, link up yesterday - he basically gave an overview of his visit to the show on Sunday night.

I love Derren Brown. Not because of him wanting Danyl to win, just because I am in awe of his intellect! He often convinces me of all sorts of things I wasnt previously agreeing with. And that probably includes his sexiness!

Maybe he should use his "powers" to get us all to vote for him.

I'm not surprised he wants Danyl to win. It's natural that a fake would support a fake.

Trying to recall if this was put up on DS before or after "Danyl's Mum: My Son is Not a Bully."

The PR campaign this week is so subtle, innit?
