The word on the street is that Robbie Williams has asked X Factor Winner Shayne Ward to fly to the USA to write and record a single with him.

Unfortunately for Shayne Simon Cowell is not too happy about the idea and even though Shaynes manager Louis Walsh is all for the project, Simon has refused to allow Shayne to take part.

A source quoted in More magazine says: “Simon Cowell was not overly happy about Robbie working with Shayne so soon after the show. He worries Shayne will get too big for his boots.

“Louis loved the idea. He really wanted Shayne to go to LA and write with Robbie – but ultimately Simon can over-rule any decisions over Shayne’s career”
