While Marcus Collins says he hopes to write with Gary Barlow...

X Factor contestant Amelia Lily revealed she has been recording a song with her mentor - and our gorgeous cover star - Miss Kelly Rowland.

She may have come 3rd in this years dramatic X Factor series but Amelia Lily has already bagged herself a collaboration with mentor, and worldwide superstar, Kelly.

The 17-year-old has been busy recording with Kelly in the studio and yesterday tweeted: 'Had a great day in the studio with miss Kelly Rowland! Can't wait for you guys to hear.'

The pink-haired singer duetted with Kelly on last Saturday's X Factor final although it is unknown what material the two are currently working on.

Meanwhile X Factor runner up Marcus Collins has admitted he's hoping to start writing his debut album with his mentor, Gary Barlow.

'Gary's an amazing musician, songwriter and performer. Not only is he my mentor, he's my friend as well, and he wants to be involved in everything,' Collins told his local paper the Liverpool Echo.

'Gary's taught me so much. He's taken me under his wing and he's moulded my career from the start. Gary's always encouraged me and we're in talks over songwriting. I'm team Barlow and I'm not going anywhere.'

He added: 'Im looking forward to taking a few days to calm down. Gary's told me he wants me working from January 1. I want to concentrate on making an amazing album and Gary will be writing it with me.'
