The X Factor's Daniel Evans has become the sixth contestant to exit the show.

The pool cleaner, 38, lost out in the sing-off against Rachel
Hylton, 26.

Daniel, mentored by Dannii Minogue, 37, had endured weeks of criticism from judges Simon Cowell, 49, and Louis Walsh.

And the widower, from Walthamstow, insists he didn't think he'd be there to the end.

'I couldn't honestly picture myself winning the show,' he says. 'And obviously now it's the case.'

Cheryl Cole's act Laura White, 21, a favourite to win, was sensationally booted off the show last week.
