X Factor stars JLS have denied rumours that they are currently collaborating with disgraced star Chris Brown on their second studio album.

The Sun had today reported that the band were recording with Chris, who was last year convicted of assaulting his girlfriend Rihanna, in an LA studio.

A source told the newspaper: “JLS have been working in the studio with Chris. Aston was really excited about it and has told pals back in the UK. He was quite starstruck.

“They have been writing and recording together and delivered some great stuff for the second album.”

However, JLS wrote on their official Twitter at 9.30am: “Just to clear rumours up we have not recorded with Chris Brown and have no plans to either.”

Brown recently swore and argued with a radio DJ, claiming that radio stations were blackballing his new music.

Kash from Q94 WRVQ said: “Chris Brown was going to come in today to do an interview to promote his concert… But before we could even get into the interview, homeboy starts yelling at me, wondering why we don’t play his records. And I said, Mr. Chris Brown… you just don’t have any hits and that’s just the truth. You don’t have any hits right now.’ And… from there the whole interview just goes south.”

Brown is heard telling the DJ, “All I’m saying is that you don’t play my s**t. What number is it (my song) at? It don’t matter. Why am I even doing this interview? I ain’t doing this s**t.”
