Talking about his new signing, Cowell said: 'This show is designed to give people like Jonathan and Charlotte an opportunity. I think their debut album is going to be stunning.'

And Jonathan, who was advised to go solo after his first audition on the ITV1 show, said: 'Appearing on the show has been a huge confidence boost and I'm still pinching myself that we are actually making our album.

'Thank you to everyone for making this happen for us.'

According to reports, Cowell is keen to coincide the release of the duo's album with The X Factor being on television so they will have the chance to perform on the programme.

A source told The Sun: 'Simon knows that to make money from them he needs to movie fast. Get that first album out as soon as possible before people have moved on.

'September is also a good time as The X Factor will be in its live stages so there is a chance to get them on the show and plug the album.'

The pair's debut release will feature new songs and covers including The Prayer which wowed the judges at their first audition on BGT and will be produced by Graham Stack, who has worked with opera stars G4.

Congratulations to them both, they really deserve it. Amazing voices, I wish them every success.

That's another few million quid for Simon to put in the kitty until they stop making him money of course then they'll be chucked on the scrap heap with Joe McElderry, Matt Cardle, etc

Fabulous act, amazing and lovely young people, but he HAS to lose weight or his mobility and health will suffer, which will be too sad for words and he won't be able to use his unique talent, that would be such a waste. No red arrows please, it's just the truth.

Loser refers to anybody and everybody who doesn't come first...

Can't wait to get their album. Love them. They will be famous worldwide.

They need to squirrel away the money they earn not be frivolous with it because Simon is noted for chewing people up spitting them out. I wish them well but wish they were with someone other than Simon.

I still think he looks like Peter Kaye in drag.

What happened to Rick Waller?

So looking forward to the album....know he is overweight but Pavarotti got away with it ! They give me goosebumps as well...good luck to them.

When will Pudsey's album be released?
