At bootcamp this year, the emotions of the occasion seem to have got to the singer as he struggles to hold back the tears both before and after his performance.

The emotional rocker decided to entertain the panel with a stripped back acoustic version of ‘Iris’ by GooGoo Dolls. After his rendition Gary Barlow said:

“OK Joseph your lower octave is very weak right now and you need to work on that.”

Sharon told the young dad to stop crying and insisted:

“I need people in my category that are going to be strong. I don’t want wimps, I need balls.”
