Nicole Scherzinger wants Take That songwriter Gary Barlow to pen a number of tracks for a planned album, it has been claimed.

Despite conflicting reports over the future of her group Pussycat Dolls, Scherzinger is said to be interested in relaunching her solo career.

A source told The Sun: "Nicole believes that everything Gary puts his hand to is amazing. She is convinced he can provide the hit she needs."

Last week, it was claimed that Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole is "desperate" for Barlow to write a ballad for inclusion on her own planned solo album.
