Louis brands Daniel 'Ricky Gervais'!
11 Oct 08
Daniel is going to learn The Office dance!
Daniel Evans was the first act to feel the judges' wrath when he performed on the first X Factor Live show.
The 38 year-old single dad sang I Wanna Know What Love Is and after putting all into his performance he humbly waited for the judges to deliver their thoughts.
While the audience in the hall were screaming for more, however, the judges were less than impressed.
Dannii and Cheryl did their best to shore up Danny's feelings, reminding him he is big hearted and one of the nicest folk in the competition - which he really is.
But Louis, in particular was mean in the extreme when he said, "Daniel you did pick a really good song, but it didn't really work - it was very cruise ship".
And he told Danny, "You remind me of Ricky Gervais singing karaoke"!
And weirdly, The girls in the house have been making the same Ricky Gervaise comparisons to the big man when they hang out in the house - they've even been teaching him Gervais catchphrases!
Daniel told us, "I don't mind being compared to Ricky Gervais. He's very talented - and rich!"
"What would upset me would be being compared to David Brent. That's just like saying you're a bit of a twit".
"But the girls keep saying they're going to teach me the dance from The Office, so we'll see how that goes...!"
