Cheryl and Dannii moved to tears by X Factor widower's heartbreaking story
X Factor struck an emotional chord last night, with one contestant's story so heartbreaking it moved the female judges to tears.
Daniel Evans gave a touching performance of Barry Manilow's Sometimes When We Touch, and was sent through to the next round.
But it was his revelation that his wife Jacqueline, 39, died last year, six days after giving birth to their daughter Ana-Marie, that prompted tears from Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue.
Asked why he was auditioning Daniel, 39, said: “It was the wish of my wife.
“Last year after giving birth to my beautiful baby girl she passed away and I realised life is too short so I decided to go for it. At least I can say I tried.”
Cheryl was so moved by the story that she could barely speak to give Daniel her vote of approval.
She told him afterwards: “I can see why your wife wanted you to audition. I think she’d be very proud.”
