X Factor Danyl is panting for it!
How Beatles fan gets a little YELP from his friends
KAPOW! X Factor favourite Danyl Johnson's secret sex weapon is revealed today.
The bisexual singer wears special SUPERMAN Y-fronts when he goes out on the pull.
Like his comic book hero, Desperate Danyl is faster than a speeding bullet as he moves in on both boys AND girls in boozy clubs.
Then ZZZZZZZIP! He stuns them with his sex-ray pants before taking them up, up and wa-hey on a night of passion.
The hunk's Kryptonite Factor is revealed today by one of his former mates in a boy band.
Stephen Blackie, 26, told the News of the World: "Danyl always believed that if he liked someone he could definitely have them. He loved the attention he got and would say, 'I can make anyone fall for me'.
"And it didn't matter if they were male or female, gay or straight - one night I saw him snog three men and three women in the same club."
Stephen watched in awe as Danyl, 27, went on the rampage.
WHAM! One night he snogged three different men in a gay club within minutes of each other.
BAM! He took a fancy to a straight guy - and managed to pull him as his astonished band mates looked on.
THANK YOU MA'AM! And even girls weren't safe if Danyl fancied a bit of the other sex.
Headboard
"One night down the pub Danyl decided to go for a girl instead. He soon got one and took her back to the house we were sharing," said Stephen.
"They quickly snuck off when we got in. My room was next to his and I could hear his headboard banging against the walls. I couldn't sleep all night . . . and from all the noises I could hear she was definitely enjoying herself.
"He doesn't have a favourite chat-up line - but he does actually have a pair of pulling pants.
"They are emblazoned with the Superman logo and he would always put them on whenever he wanted to get lucky."
Gay Stephen became a close pal of the budding star - who has reached the Boot Camp stage of the hit show - when they formed boy band Upfrunt along with pal Adam Harris in 2004.
Danyl had just finished studying at the prestigious ArtsEd drama school in West London and the trio moved into a four-bedroom house in Woodford Green, Essex. Then the fun began.
"We went out clubbing and Danyl pulled a straight bloke. We all laughed - we didn't think he could do it - but he did! He got a snog from a straight guy!" said Stephen. Danyl - who stunned Simon Cowell with his audition performance of Beatles' hit With A Little Help From My Friends - went for another heterosexual man the night they all celebrated Stephen's 21st birthday.
"We were necking champagne, vodka and beers and got hammered in the gay club Heaven," says Stephen.
"I remember Dan walked onto the dance floor. Five minutes later we saw him stroll off with this guy we were friends with who I knew wasn't gay.
"They started snogging under the staircase leading to the top of the club. We couldn't believe our eyes, everyone was just staring at them and the bouncers were screaming with laughter.
"It was amazing to watch - men seem to be drawn to him. Within seconds of us getting in the club he gave us a wink and he started to flirt with good-looking blokes.
"He was totally proud of himself. Danyl said it doesn't matter to him whether they are men or women.
"He is completely bisexual, he says if he has a connection with somebody, that is what is important. He doesn't mind if they are male or female, straight or gay - he really can have anyone he wants."
On many boozy nights out Stephen saw Danyl - now a dance and drama teacher in Reading - go totally wild.
He recalled: "He would do his usual trick of just wandering off. One night we were standing at the bar watching him go through the crowd. In the space of three minutes he managed to chat up and snog three different blokes, before coming back to us. Another night he snogged three men AND three women. He spent the night coming in and out of dark corners with different people. Afterwards he laughed and said that one of those guys was straight too."
But Stephen reveals that Danyl's real lust was for fame and that although he enjoyed snogging in clubs he was choosy who he slept with.
During the past five years Stephen reckons Danyl has had ten sexual relationships with both men and women - "probably about five of each".
Stephen said: "When he met someone he liked he would only go out with them for a maximum of two and a half months. He wouldn't want anyone to hold him back. He has always had his heart set on becoming a solo artist and felt if it did take off he wouldn't want to be attached.
"He didn't have many one night stands. For Danyl knowing that he can pull a person is enough. He made an effort not to give himself a bad reputation. He was pretty soppy when he was seeing people though. He would start being really homely, cooking his favourite dish of tuna and pasta for them and watching DVDs.
"They would be all loved up, then suddenly he would end it."
But Danyl's main love was always performing. And after Upfrunt failed to make it, he jumped at the chance of being on X-Factor.
Star
His Beatles song performance was described by Simon Cowell as "single-handedly the best first audition I have ever heard".
"All Danyl ever wanted was to be a star," says Stephen. "You would always know when he was in the house. He would sing as loud as he could in the shower Lenny Kravitz, Stevie Wonder, Sting and Alicia Keys.
"He is genuinely a great bloke, everybody warms to him. I really hope he wins."

I LOVE LLOYD DANIELS OMG HE IS SUCH A GOOD SINGER AND PLUS HES FIT
By DESTINEE.. Posted November 8 2009 at 5:35 PM.
Omg, what is all of this about his pulling strategies?
i just hope to god that none of his pupils read these articles, its setting a bad example.
teachers lives should be kept private, especially their sex lives. all of this **** can not be helping him win the public over (especially families)
By tania adams.. Posted November 2 2009 at 12:31 AM.
Danii Minouge is NOT HOMOPHOBIC. Danyl and Danii are great friends which is well known to everyone on the show and it was a joke that was made between the two of them off stage; Danii has done numerous things for the gay community so dont go slating her. Danyl's a great singer and maybe a winner...
By Troy... Posted October 16 2009 at 2:50 PM.
Who cares about his sexuality, whats all the fuss about? Dannii wasnt wrong to say what she did , every one of the judges slag the opposition at some point and usually well below the belt. its all tit for tat, and all part of the show .ps Nichole sang that song a thousand times better than Danyl anyway and the injustice of it all didnt get through .... its all tv, mind games by the judges and seeing who of the contestents crack. Simon had a good go at the girls make up,and leona comparisons last night, and in the past hes destroyed louis' contestents, ie the mcdonald brothers n that irish girl band , so get used to it, it gets the ratings up and all is fair in love and war
By alisonfs.. Posted October 11 2009 at 2:56 PM.
I think Danni was trying to be light hearted but it back fired, i feel it was really cruel and she should appologise for her behavior, i hope danyl is ok because he was very upset, he sang fantastically boo to Danni M.
By yvonne brearley.. Posted October 11 2009 at 1:47 PM.
I just think its awful that danni did that tonite. She should know better than a lot of people about the press and how out of context things can be! It was completly unprofesional as well as cruel and think simon would do well to re think whether she is right for the show! Danyl dont let petty comments knock your performances and good luck everyone!
By becky.. Posted October 11 2009 at 3:51 AM.
Everyone really needs to chill out over this!! Danni Minogue is far from homophobic.
Danyl singing such a big female vocal was all hyped up before he came on, when he sang it he changed the lyrics to 'girl'. All Danni was saying (very light heartedly) was he could of left the original lyrics in. Clearly a simple joke between her & him given all the stories in the papers...stories that Danyl is clearly open & ok with...as he should be!!! Hiding the contestents sexuality would be far worse!! If anything Danni was probably having a bit of banter with Danyl which given the amount of nerves he had up there on stage he probably appreciated it!! And in the 21st century...in the real world...is perfectly normal.
By Lola.. Posted October 11 2009 at 12:39 AM.
I am outraged by Danni's comments surely she was there to comment on the way he performed and whether he looked like a popstar! No one commented on the fact her hair looked like a cornish pasty!
By Steven Downes.. Posted October 11 2009 at 12:12 AM.
I didn't like Danyl at all at boot camp but thought he was absolutely superb tonight. He completely blew all the other acts away. I could not believe Danni's comments, and felt it was completely out of order to say what she did on the live show. Had to check the internet to see what all the fuss is about. However, does this have anything to do with whether Danyl is good enough to win? Only time will tell if he proves to be consistent.
By Pauline Demarco.. Posted October 11 2009 at 12:06 AM.
I think it is aboslutely outrageous what danni did to danyl on the live show. how dare she say something bout his personal life, She should be kicked off the show. DANYL IS A WINNER. GET DANNI OUT!!!
By sam stow.. Posted October 11 2009 at 12:06 AM.
I think it is absolutely outrageous what danni did on the live show. How dare she bring something about his life on to it. She should be kicked off the show for her behaviour.
By sam stow.. Posted October 11 2009 at 12:04 AM.
Hey Danyl guess what mate you taking all the lime light, we should be concentrating on getting rid of the Irish twins heheheh - Dont worry mate you great, now give the twins some space .....
By Carla.. Posted October 10 2009 at 11:34 PM.
Dani for a proffessional singer you should be ashamed, wonder how many skeletons you hiding.Danyl you are a great singer what you do in your spare time is your problem no one else. Go for it you can do it.
By Carla.. Posted October 10 2009 at 11:24 PM.
I am out raged,leave Danyl Johnson alone....so what if he's bi,Give him credit the man is a genius.Surely we should be focusing on his musical talents & not his ability to pull anything that moves! Who is anyone to judge!
As for Dani Monoge,how dare her humiliate him on tonights show of the x factor.Danyl you have alot of fans supporting you,however don't start getting cocky...we don't like that!!!
By Christina .. Posted October 10 2009 at 10:35 PM.
dannii's probably just jealous that he gets more guys then she does...
she was COMPLETELY out of order but i really appreciated his "i'm not ashamed" :)
simon is also a geneous for giving him this song and he definatly 100% has my vote :) xx
By Yvonne .. Posted October 10 2009 at 10:58 PM.
cannot believe the comments dannii minogue made tonite. I wasnt the biggest danyl fan but the way he was treated tonight i am now 100% behind him. Whatever he does/has done in his life is not of any relevance to the show but hey, they also had a pop at candy rain. Look out for a discrimination row to match the one strictly has going on. Well done dannii you have dragged the show to an all time low ........ can you go any lower?
By holly.. Posted October 10 2009 at 10:56 PM.
danni minogue is just pure evil for comin off wit a comment like she did tonight, she's jus sour cuz she can't sing n never could, go danyl !!
By di.. Posted October 10 2009 at 11:03 PM.
I think that it's sad that a so called 'friend' has disrespected him like this.
Who cares about what his past is....everyone has a past...and nobody deserves to be judged!!
He's got talent but he needs to be less arrogant...that could ruin his chances. Wish him the best of luck....he's one of my favourites!
Go on Danyl from Berkshire...my local little hero!
By Gemma Eggleton.. Posted October 10 2009 at 10:08 PM.
is this why danni said that on the 1st live show ?????
By Rosie .. Posted October 10 2009 at 10:05 PM.
We've all been young and behaved as if no one were watching, I think we should allow him to entertain and judge him on his talent, not what others have allowed him to 'get away with'. I like his star quailty I don't need to agree with his ethos on love or lust.
By Sheena.. Posted October 10 2009 at 10:04 PM.
people are just jealous. Danyl is AMAZING! who cares what he does in his spare time. a true freind wouldnt wash his friends dirty laundry in public.
By Ellie.. Posted October 10 2009 at 10:18 PM.
Danyl, this guy really isn't your mate, with mates like that who needs enemies, he has done this for money - dirty money!
I just hope this hasn't cost you that chance you deserve! Tonight Danni Minoghue was totally out of order - stupid bimbo!
By Julie.. Posted October 10 2009 at 10:13 PM.
yano what he really has a briliant voice and why should every one be bofered about danyl's life its got noffin to do wiv anyone else hes gunna go far i can tell love the familty xxx
By jessica nisbet,mandy peebles,russell peebles,russ,lisa peebles.. Posted October 10 2009 at 10:12 PM.
I think that Danny Minogue was totally out of order 2nite just shows how low she will go. The fact is he is a stunning singer, performer and a stunner 2 look at who cares wot his sexual preferences are i thought it woz about singing, people shud b getting rid of those pathetic twins.
By Mandy Hyde.. Posted October 10 2009 at 10:11 PM.
wat aload of old rubidsh i could still live with him wat a fitty
By jess artis.. Posted October 10 2009 at 10:22 PM.
Danyl's a really nice guy! I think that this SO-CALLED mate of his is just trying to make a quick buck!
put it this way none of his true friends have sold stories!!!
By Louise K.. Posted October 5 2009 at 12:28 PM.
He's picking up "straight" guys in gay bars ??? Yea right ...
By matt.. Posted October 2 2009 at 12:37 AM.
lower end of the Gene pool methinks. You guys are priceless.
Si
By Simon.. Posted October 1 2009 at 4:29 PM.
I used to work with Stephen Blackie a few years back...he was shameless then and he's obviously shameless now.
Hope the grand was worth it fella!!
By Anon.. Posted September 28 2009 at 2:13 PM.
His first audition was good, his version of holding back the years was tuneless.
I can imagine the parents of the kids he teaches won't be happy to hear about all this promiscuity.
By Kelmia.. Posted September 28 2009 at 12:55 PM.
Don't like this guy at all .......
By Jo - Sheffield.. Posted September 27 2009 at 11:30 PM.
Danyls audition was incredible. I think he is born to perform, and I hope he wins. I did not like his second auditon though, and he has to be careful not to get too carried away. Well done Danyl.
By muosy.. Posted September 27 2009 at 9:09 PM.
I thought he was absolutely gorgeous and a mighty fine entertainer!
By lizdowd.. Posted September 27 2009 at 8:00 PM.
I think his singing is great but his so called friend dishing the dirt on him is just wrong i think this story just lost him his dream !!!!
By Amanda Bartram.. Posted September 27 2009 at 7:50 PM.

WOW,, Danyl ,
Superman he is i must say his voice is sent from god my body went into shivers as he sings, does he know how good he really is ?
Its nice to see some real talant from the start coz it could only get better,
By karen.. Posted September 27 2009 at 12:30 PM.
Isn't this guy a school teacher?
All these details about his private life are
complete unnecessary and tacky to say the
least.
By Louise.. Posted September 27 2009 at 12:21 PM.
Superman no no no, he's a flash (gordon) in the pan he won't last!
By roger tims.. Posted September 27 2009 at 11:49 AM.
I actually dont care that hes bi-sexual Shame on his so called friend for dishing the dirt on him. We wanna read about his talents in singing not in the bedroom.
By Julie.. Posted September 27 2009 at 10:10 AM.
I think this article just lost the show for him. Too much information.
By Susie.. Posted September 27 2009 at 10:29 AM.
Good luck Danyl
Enjoy yourself, and others whilst you can.
You are a long time dead
Enjoy when, where and whatever you want, and share your happiness.
By Fred.. Posted September 27 2009 at 9:09 AM.
Why do we have to have all this about his sexuality - I thought this was a talent competition and about his singing! All this has just put me off him - not because he is bisexual - just because I couldn't care less and it is obviously a massive PR stunt.
By Kirsty.. Posted September 27 2009 at 8:28 AM.
Lucie is miles better than anyone else this year. This guy wont make the last week
By Keith Price.. Posted September 27 2009 at 2:08 AM.
I didn't think he was anything special at bootcamp, i should know i was there. I should have went through because i'm a better singer then him and most of the rest of the misfits.
By Adam Marks.. Posted September 27 2009 at 12:35 AM.
THIS IS THIS YEARS WINNER....TRUST ME!!
