Rap star Dizzee Rascal has revealed that he is to release a collaboration with former X Factor contestant Daniel Pearce.

The singer got to judges houses on the 2009 series and was also one of the winning boys on Popstars: The Rivals, when he became a member of boy band One True Voice.

Pearce sang on Rascal’s latest single ‘Dirtee Disco’, which Dizzee releases on 24th May.

“He did backing vocals for me once then he stepped forward to do Dance Wiv Me and Holiday,” Rascal told the BBC. “I heard him and thought I needed a vocalist for the next track – that’s how that happened.”

“It’s just like a massive party record, massive summer tune. It does what it says on the tin.”

X Factor contestant Daniel Pearce is reportedly recording an album of satirical songs with Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles.

A source told The People: “They get on really well and Chris is delighted he’s doing well on The X Factor.

“Daniel has also worked on some jingles for Chris’s Radio 1 show and been in the studio with him.”

The album will be released for sale later this year.

Daniel, who will appear on this Saturday’s X Factor show, told The Sun: “Going on the reality show was a huge decision because it didn’t go according to plan last time.

“I’ve been trying to make it as a solo artist but the barrier of One True Voice always comes up. We were seen as a flop and I was tarnished with that brush.

“When I won Popstars I thought that was it. But it all started going downhill very quickly.”

X Factor contestant Daniel Pearce, has admitted that his girl has put him on a diet so he looks his best when performing at bootcamp.

He told The Sun: “My partner’s put me on a diet that has been working, which I will try to stick to.”

He also chatted about why he has kept his purple mohican for this stage of the show.

He said: “It’s part of who I am. I like to do things differently – and it so happens that by the time of auditions it was the length that I could start blow-drying and straightening it.”

Daniel Pearce won Popstars The Rivals and made it through to the boyband ‘One True Voice.’ They famously flopped and Daniel left to pursue a solo career.

Daniel made his X Factor debut last night and the judges seemed very impressed by his vocals. However, I’m not sure it would be fair to put Daniel on the live shows. He has had his chance, he won Pop Idols, he got a record deal. Wouldn’t it be fairer to give someone else a chance now?

Former Popstars: The Rivals winner Daniel Pearce has been tipped for success on this years X Factor. You can watch his audition on Sunday night’s show.

Daniel won a place in One True Voice, the band which rivalled Girls Aloud in 2002, however they soon sank to obscurity and now Daniel wants another bite of the cherry.

Daniel is not truly an amateur though and it is that fact which may cause him problems in the ITV show. After leaving One True Voice he went on to star in West End musical Jailhouse Rock and has also been a backing singer for big-name stars such as Craig David.

He is also an accomplished songwriter and in the past has worked with stars such as Robbie Willimas one time partner, Guy Chambers.

During his recent X Factor audition, Cheryl gave Daniel a standing ovation while Simon apparently “blasted” Louis Walsh for letting Daniel go when Louis was one of the judges on Popstars: The Rivals.

Cheryl told the hopeful, “I always thought you were fantastic.”
