Danyl Johnson has reportedly been accused of bullying his X Factor co-star Stacey Solomon by reading out negative press stories about her personal life.
According to the Daily Star, the schoolteacher has left his rival contestant in tears at the show's house by "thrusting" articles in her face and loudly repeating others.
A source said: "Stacey was adamant when she moved into the X Factor house that she did not want to read or hear any stories about herself.
"But Danyl has just ignored her wishes and he can't help blabbing when he sees an article about her in the paper. It upsets her and can put her off her performance."
Solomon has allegedly learned that some critics have labelled her a bad mother for competing on The X Factor when she has an 18-month-old son. Rumours about her sex life are also said to have been mentioned by Johnson at the house.
Talk of tension between the pair first emerged at the weekend. Johnson has previously been accused of bullying axed girl group Kandy Rain.
Simon Cowell recently said that he does not believe Johnson is a bully. He also promised that the singer would have an opportunity to give his side of the story.
