Gary Barlow said Marcus Collins was a joy to work
”It’s been such a pleasure, especially my first year on the show to have someone so nice.

Gary said that he will help Marcus with his career and make sure that he works with the right sort of people
“I’m going to make sure he gets the right label, the right deal, the right songwriters, the right album. I want to make sure this lad is really taken care of, because he has been a pleasure to work with,”
