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.”
