He saw off the challenge of two other singers to win a place on judge Danny O’Donoghue’s team for the next round of the competition.

His performance of Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now was enough to impress The Script singer.

“Mitchel is my rocker,” O’Donoghue said. “He is so energetic, he’s an amazing singer and I want those sorts of people on my team.”

The performance gave the Burntwood singer the chance to play guitar and he admitted the song choice was a personal one.

“I am currently in a long distance relationship and there is probably going to be an essence of me singing to my girlfriend,” he explained.

“I feel I have something to prove to people that I’m not just a rock singer. I don’t want to be a one trick pony.”
