X Factor's Cheryl Cole Confirms Rihanna Collaboration

Cheryl Cole has confirmed reports that she is set to record a song with Rihanna.

The Girls Aloud star and X Factor judge said the pair would “definitely” enter the studio together, but not until next year.

"I couldn't believe it when I heard Rihanna wanted to work with me," Cole told the Daily Mirror. "When I found out she wanted to collaborate, I got goosebumps all over.”

“We're definitely doing something together next year."

Cole also praised Rihanna's love of tattoos, and singled out the one on her coller bone, which says, 'Never a failure, always a lesson'.

Meanwhile, both Cole and Rihanna are due to release new studio albums next month.
