FRAGILE Lloyd Daniels has threatened to QUIT the show as he struggles to cope with the pressure.

The 16-year-old told producers he wanted to go after facing a pasting from judge Louis Walsh last week who told him he should have been in the bottom two. Mentor Cheryl Cole talked Lloyd round but his confidence is at an all-time low and he's terrified he'll be voted out tonight.

Pals believe he needs more emotional support. A source revealed: "Lloyd is really cracking up under the pressure. It's been the worst week for him in the competition.

"He was on a downer after Louis's comments last week."

The Welsh teenager, who last night performed songs by Elton John and Take That, has tried to transform himself with a short hair cut. But the source said: "Lloyd is much younger than the others and he's had to grow up quickly. He misses his friends and family.

"The song choice has been a big drama because for the first time he's not felt confident in his vocal abilities. The criticism and pressure is getting too much."

aww i feel sorry for lloyd cause hes a young boy trying his best. but im sad to say his best just aint good enough. i think he needs to wait a couple of years and see how he is then. his voice just aint coping with the big ballad themes etc. maybe he needs to be given chris brown/ neyo songs, they would suit his voice perfectly. i think he needs to go tonight thou him or danyl.

Well what can I say; he is the least talented singer and should have been voted out weeks ago. The tone in his voice is shocking and the only thing keeping him in is his looks, if the show was called who is the best looking in the competition, he would possibly win but singing no chance. Let’s hope he is voted out this week, all the silly girls who are voting for him can buy a ticket a go see the road show. As Simon wouls say i am just being honest.
