Cheryl Cole is said to be hounding Take That singer Gary Barlow to write a song for her new solo album.

New magazine reports that the X Factor judge first raised the idea with Barlow while they climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief earlier this year.

Cole is said to already be collaborating with Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am and Taio Cruz for her debut album.

Barlow has yet to confirm the reports, but told the magazine: “Cheryl’s great. She’s fun, feisty and knows her stuff!”
