Scouting For Girls 'inspired by X Factor'

Scouting For Girls have revealed that their new album Everybody Wants To Be On TV has been inspired by The X Factor.

The trio, who reached number one with their self-titled debut in 2007, admitted that they have been writing songs about celebrity culture for their new record.

"The record is a comment on the world which is obsessed with TV. Our song is a celebration of that," singer Roy Stride told the Daily Star.

"I think it's really easy to be cynical, but I love The X Factor. It gives people in their early 30s who have grafted, like we did, the opportunity to succeed."

Scouting For Girls will release single 'This Ain't A Love Song' on March 8. Their new album follows on March 22.
