Alexandra Burke has admitted she’d love to duet with X Factor judge Cheryl Cole.

The Bad Boys singer told handbag.com: “I can’t confirm that rumour, but all I’ll say is that I’d love to duet with Cheryl Cole, so watch this space.”

When asked about recent rumours that Cole was afraid to sing on X Factor, Burke said:

“Well I think if someone’s been in a group so long, it’d be quite daunting to go on stage without your girls.”

She added: “When you’re by yourself, it’s probably going to feel scary for that one minute, but I’m sure when she gets that mic in her hand she’s going to be like ‘right this is my moment, let’s beast it out.’”
