The X Factor's Danny Tetley has vowed to give Sir Tom Jones a run for his money - insisting he is an irresistible "sex bomb" to both men and women.

The 37-year-old star - who has won an army of fans since appearing on the hit ITV talent show - says both men and women have started chasing him since his fame, despite being openly gay.

The wannabe singer is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "Since I've been singing on a Saturday night in front of millions I've become a sex bomb.

"Boys and girls have been flirting with me and making saucy comments. I love it. That Sir Tom Jones had better watch out. I'm taking over."

Danny first graced TV screens as a 'Pop Idol' contestant back in 2001 and then decided to take another shot at stardom by auditioning for this year's 'X Factor'.

Before his audition, Danny explained that performing on 'X Factor' was a dream come true and he was still passionate to win despite former failures.

He gushed: "This is my World Cup final, I've waited 17 years to show I've still got it, I've still got the same passion as before."

His jaw-dropping performance of 'I am Telling You' from the hit movie 'Dreamgirls' left the judges in awe and caused Simon Cowell to apologise for previously overlooking him.

Simon said: "Look, I've felt there's something different happening in the music industry. I apologise for 17 years ago."
