We reported that Chico was to release his debut single this month and was recently signed by Simon Cowells record label BMG, but now Chico has gone one better and begins shooting and co-producing his own movie this summer!

The new film will draw on the X Factor star’s experiences as a former male stripper.

Screen Daily reports that ‘Lunchbox’ is described as a raunchy comedy and follows a stripping troupe’s European tour.

The film, co-written by Chico and his brother, actor JC Mac, and the movie’s director, will begin shooting in Europe in June. It is rumoured to also have Sharon Osbourne starring alonside Chico as a corrupt promoter.

Chico is also serving as co-producer on the film; the 34-year-old recently signed a record deal with BMG.
