Joe McElderry has revealed that he is keen to work with OneRepublic star Ryan Tedder on his debut album. The X Factor winner praised Tedder, who wrote the hits ‘Bleeding Love’ for Leona Lewis and ‘Halo’ for Beyoncé. Speaking to the Daily Star, McElderry said: ‘I would love Simon Cowell to put me with Ryan Tedder for my album’s ballads because he is an amazing songwriter.’

Joe McElderry is just a month away from the X Factor Live Tour, which will see Joe and the other finalists perform at various venues across the UK. Tickets are still available for the tour but be advised they are selling out fast.

Starting on February 15 at Liverpool Echo Arena, the X-Factor Live tour includes visits to a number of top UK venues including the Birmingham LG Arena, Wembley Arena, Belfast Odyssey Arena and the MEN Arena. The tour draws to a close at the Glasgow SECC on April 4.
