Default Leon rattles Rhydian

LEON RATTLES RHYDIAN
ENSION between X Factor rivals Rhydian Roberts and Leon Jackson rose so high they had to be kept apart before last night’s semi-final.

Hot favourite Rhydian got more and more rattled that Leon could be catching him up in the race for the ITV1 show crown.

An insider confided: “Rhydian got used to being the clear favourite and it seemed he didn’t like having to share the limelight.

“He was saying that he thought Leon was too weak to win.

“The two were very frosty with each other for seven days or so.

“Clearly, they can’t stand each other and it was showing.”

Welshman Rhydian, 24, told the Daily Star Sunday the public should vote for his singing skill rather than for the likeability of the 19-year-old Scot.

He said he could stand the thought of losing to duo Same Difference or Brummie mum Nikki – but not to Leon.

And he added: “I know the weaknesses of the other contestants and Leon just doesn’t have the stage presence I do. He’s very young and inexperienced and there is no way I could come fourth to him.

“To the others maybe, not to him.”

Leon, on the other hand, believes he’s the greatest natural talent himself.

He said: “I am the only one here who hasn’t had any formal training.

“I only sang for the first time about six months ago because I was shy.

“Everyone else here has been to stage school or had training.

“Rhydian has been singing professionally for years and years.

“I’ve had to raise my game on my own.

“I’m just as good as Rhydian now and he has to consider the possibility of losing to me.”

Meanwhile, Same Difference brother and sister Sean and Sarah Smith are concentrating on the positive.

Sean revealed: “We’ve had two letters from people who are dealing with some really horrible things in their lives and who say we’ve helped them – that our happy performances have uplifted them and given them inspiration.”
