“I like his love of pugs as well that he gives no f*** and wears whatever he wants,” he added.

At the moment, Andrea remains one of the favourites to win the competition, after wowing with his performances of Michael Jackson’s ‘Earth Song’ and Whitney Houston’s ‘One Moment In Time’.

Andrea is being mentored by Mel B, who still has all of her acts in the competition, as does Simon.

Things aren’t going quite so smoothly for Louis Walsh and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, who lost two acts each in the first and second live shows, respectively.

Ed will get the chance to meet Andrea this weekend, as he's performing on 'X Factor' on Sunday night.
