X Factor runner up, Rhydian Roberts will work with Meatloaf song writer, Jim Steinman, The Sun has revealed.

Rhydian said: “It seems Jim had seen a clip of me singing Meatloaf’s I Would Do Anything for Love on one of the X Factor shows, a song he himself had written.

“I’m a big Meatloaf fan too. We’ve both got that kind of quasi-opera thing going on – although he’s a tenor and I’m a baritone.”

Rhydian has signed a £1 million record deal with Simon Cowell and his debuit album is due out in October of this year. Just in time for the launch of this years X factor live shows……what a coincidence.
