Andy Abraham
Song: A Song For You   (Donny Hathaway  )

41-year-old Andy Abraham walks into the audition room after clocking off his shift as a refuse collector in London's West End. It's clear that he's in no mood to collect a refusal from the panel!

Happily there are no cries of 'rubbish' from the judges as they listen to Andy's sweet rendition of a Donny Hathaway number. A hat-trick of 'Yes' sends Andy off to The X Factor Boot Camp.

Panel-Bites:
