'Pineapple Dance Studios' star Louie Spence is backing Matt Cardle to win 'The X Factor' this year.
Writing in his column in Heat magazine, he said: "My favourite by a mile is Matt, the painter and decorator from Essex, and not just because I'm an Essex boy too."
"He's original and unaffected, and I disagree with anyone who says he needs to give a bigger performance."
"When you're sincere about what you're doing you don't always need the glitz."
He also criticised contestant Nicolo Festa, saying: "As for Mr Italy, Nicolo, he has a lot of attitude and no real talent. Arrivederci!"
