Danny, Popstar to Operastar article


After the public vote placed him and McFly singer Danny Jones in the bottom two, all four judges – Katherine Jenkins, Meat Loaf, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Villazon – decided Danny deserved to stay another week.

Following the decision, an emotional Jimmy said: ‘My opera dreams have just begun. What a blast this has been. I’m going to go home and see my beautiful wife and four kids – they are opera to me.

‘Opera is empowering, it’s exciting and it’s a way of getting in touch with your inner emotions. I have fallen in love with every person while taking part in this show.’
