X Factor finalist Amelia Lily has confirmed that she has recorded a duet with Kelly Rowland, her mentor on the show, which will appear on her debut album. The 17-year-old had previously hinted at working with the Destiny’s Child singer – but told This Morning that they had teamed up on a track.

‘Me and Kelly actually recorded in the studio not so long ago,’ she said, adding that they had kept in touch. ‘I’ve got a lovely voicemail off Kelly which she left me just before Christmas.,’ Amelia revealed. ‘She said, ‘Hello my little Lily’.’

The teenager did not reveal details of what song they had recorded, although she did previously perform River Deep Mountain High with Kelly during the X Factor final in December.

Amelia originally left the show in the first week of the live finals after each of the judges had to nominate one of their acts to send home. However she was voted back in to the show after Frankie Cocozza was axed, and went on to reach the final, finishing in third place.

Her debut single Lay It On Me is set for release next month.
