X Factor's Olly Murs signs record deal

Olly Murs has been signed up by Simon Cowell for his record label after he came second on the X Factor.

Losing out in the final to Joe McElderry, who was mentored by Cheryl Cole, Olly always received rave reviews from Simon Cowell, who selected the Essex performer to go through to the live shows.

Now it seems that Simon has decided to give the performer a chance at the big time and possibly replicate the success of Joe, who went to number one with his debut single The Climb.

There are already plenty of people who would love to get their hands on his album, including Robbie Williams, who announced he was a big fan when he performed Angels with him in the final.

Bingo fans who cannot wait to see Olly perform can try winning tickets to the current X Factor tour with Bet365.

All you have to do is pledge £10 on bingo games and £25 on The X Factor Steps to Stardom game to be entered into the weekly draw.
