Video support for X Factor semi-finalist Danyl Johnson

The 27-year-old Arborfield lad, a former pupil at Starmaker theatre school, has received a bundle of messages of support on YouTube for him to watch before he goes on stage on Saturday.

Friends and former teachers at Starmaker, who have been religiously voting for Danyl every week, have made a video package for him to watch.

In one of the clips Leo, a current pupil at the stage school, said: “We are so proud of you Dan. I hope you go all the way, good luck.”

His former choreography teacher Michelle, said in her clip: “Good luck, Danny has got the X Factor!”

Performing arts teacher Danyl, who also worked at Mo’s Dance School and Elstree School in Woolhampton, was finally allowed to shake his hips with a sizzling dance routine to go with Take That’s Relight My Fire last week, before a moving performance of the beautiful Your Song by Elton John.

His performances were enough to keep him in the competition and now he is through to the semi-final which will see one last performer go on Sunday before the remaining three battle it out in the final.

Now Danyl, Stacey, Olly and Joe will perform another two songs on the live show on Saturday before they hear their fate on Sunday.

If you are having a Danyl party or have been making banners or posters to support him, let us know. Email nslater@reading-epost.co.uk or call (0118) 918 3022.

Bahumbug, i know everyone has the right to their own opinion, but this is kinda out of order, i mean how would you like it with comments like this ? It's pretty inappropriate and immature. I go to Starmaker, and we're trying to support Danyl as he is one of our own, and its about time that Reading got put on the map as a place for talent instead of all the bad rep that we get. Danyl isn't only getting Starmaker a good reputation but Reading too... so helping the people of Reading to show Reading isn't a bad place after all! Go Danyl you've been amazing so far and you're gonna go all the way, and don't let some papers and rude remarks get you down, like you have already been doing !! Danyl for the Win !
