Reggie ‘N’ Bollie want Cheryl Fernandez-Versini duet


Reggie ‘N’ Bollie want to duet with their mentor Cheryl Fernandez-Versini during ‘The X Factor’ live final.

The reggae-duo have been trying to persuade the former Girls Aloud singer, 32, to perform one of her hit songs with them for the big finale, held over the weekend of December 12 and 13, at London’s Wembley Arena.

Reggie explained: "We’ve been trying to get it into her head that she should perform with us.

"We would like to do one of her songs because we’ve got really nice ideas. That’s what were are hoping to do."

The lads from Ghana – famed for being on the ITV talent show – have also hinted they’d like to work with ‘Get Busy’ hitmaker Sean Paul and Jamaican reggae star Shaggy.

Bollie added: "We met Sean and we would like to do something with him. He was a very nice guy. We’d also like to duet with Shaggy."

Meanwhile, Cheryl hasn’t just been helping the boys out with their vocals as she’s also been mentoring ‘The X Factor’ finalists on their fashion sense.

Reggie told the Daily Star newspaper: "Cheryl is always giving us tips on what to wear for what occasion. There’s been times when we’ve said we’d like to wear something a bit more gentle and she’s like, ‘No, you can’t do that.’ "
