'X Factor' Lucy Spraggan plans to release debut album in March

Lucy Spraggan has revealed that she is hoping to release her debut studio album in March.

The X Factor contestant explained that she has begun working on the LP since being forced to leave the ITV competition due to illness.



"The plan is to write an album and have it released by spring, around March time," she told The Sun.

"I've already got about 200 songs written up and ready to go, although obviously not all of those will make it."

Spraggan stated that some tracks may be inspired by her experience on The X Factor.



"I haven't written about X Factor yet, but I always write about my experiences, so I'm sure that I will," she said.

However, Spraggan explained that she has yet to secure an official record deal, but is expecting to do so in the near future.

"I haven't got a record deal yet, but hopefully I will in the next few months," she added.

Spraggan has been tipped to return to the X Factor stage and perform during the live final this weekend.

She recently confirmed that she will not be part of the X Factor tour in 2013.
