X Factor Rhydian Roberts reduces Dannii Minogue to tears (again)

X Factor Rhydian Roberts reduces Dannii Minogue to tears (again) X Factor weirdo Rhydian Roberts dreamed of being an international rugby player - despite his slight appearance and reducing judge Dannii Minogue to tears on tonight's show.
The 24-year-old Welsh opera singer was described by his coach when he was at school as being a "big powerful centre" although he now dazzles Saturday night audiences with his camp performances.
He stunned ITV viewers when he said: "My dream was to be an international rugby player".
When Rhydian sang the tearjerker love ballad Somewhere, which was sung on hit musical West Side Story, Dannii Minogue was so overcome with emotion that she burst into tears - for the second time this series.
She said: "I can't speak that was so beautiful. I felt you were singing it personally to me. It was just incredible."
And judge Louis Walsh said to the bright blond: "You are a true professional and you are definitely going to make the final. You are head and shoulders above everybody."
This week's theme was love songs and it was the first show where none of Sharon's team have performed - as all of them have been given the boot.
Meanwhile, the judges failed to reach a verdict on who to send home - so it was decided by the public. Beverley Trotman was sent home - while girl band Hope, who have previously been likened to the Spice Girls, were saved after they sang the song Christina Aguilera song Hurt.
Hope were saved from going home on last week's show - making this their second poor performance in a row.
Beverley belted out the song Without You and the judges loved her rendition, with Louis saying "You looked like a diva and you sang like a diva" - but the public weren't so keen.
After being given the boot, Beverley said: "I feel really quite excited. This is not the end."
Irish boyband Westlife performed live on the show.
