'X Factor' Rebecca 'to work with Winehouse'

Rebecca Ferguson has claimed that Amy Winehouse is interested in writing a song for her.

The X Factor contestant, who is one of the favourites to win the competition, has heard that the 'Back To Black' star wants to work with her, and has also received a fan letter from 'Chasing Pavements' singer Adele.

"Adele actually wrote me a letter. It was such a surprise and I felt very privileged," she told The Sun.

"I'm a big fan of her music and it's a good feeling to have such a talented person say they like my voice."

She continued: "Paloma Faith has said she would be interested in working with me. I also heard a rumour that Amy Winehouse would like to write a song for me. They are both such amazing artists, I feel really flattered."

The singer recently said that it is important to be "humble" on the ITV1 talent show, admitting: "You can't be cocky about something that you were given as a gift."
