The star threatens to walk out after massive bust-up with mentor Simon Cowell
X Factor star Danyl Johnson dramatically stormed out of rehearsals yesterday, after a dispute over song choices.
The star was said to be unhappy with his song - George Michael's Praying for Time - chosen by Simon Cowell, and walked out in fury during a session with the show's vocal coach Yvie Burnett.

A source revealed, ‘He literally burst out the door and ran off down Battersea High Street.
‘A few production staff chased after him to try to calm him down and make him come back but he was having none of it.
‘They even sent a car to follow him and try to make him see sense and return but he refused.'

Now it seems Danyl is threatening to quit the show unless he is given a different song.
The former teacher - who has been criticised in recent weeks for appearing arrogant and over-confident - seemed to have toned down his behavior. But this latest tantrum has left people wondering.
An insider said, ‘He's not doing himself any favours with stunts like this which just make him look like a spoilt brat. Even if the song choice is wrong there's no need to storm out, he should talk about it first.'
Oh dear Danyl!
