Lloyd Daniels

Lloyd Michael Daniels, born 14 December 1992, was the youngest act in the X Factor of 2009. He was born in Treharris, in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. In his first audition, Cheryl Cole described him as "the first person I'm going to say you've got the X Factor to." He was placed in the bottom two after the rock-themed week, but the public vote saved him at the expense of Rachel Adedeji. He was in the bottom two again in week 6 but was saved when the vote went to deadlock and Jamie Archer was sent home. On 29 November 2009, Daniels was eliminated from the competition, finishing in fifth place. On 7 December 2009, he performed a homecoming concert outside the St David's Centre in Cardiff, and toured with the X Factor live tour. As of November 2014 Daniels is performing the leading role of Joseph in the UK tour of Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, his first stage musical role.
