Ones to watch: Kamaliya

Here at Digital Spy, we'll admit that on occasion we can't resist a healthy slab of Euro-cheese pop.

The latest act poised to invade our shores? Ukrainian star Kamaliya, whose CV boasts singer, songwriter, model and most recently, Hollywood actress.

Boldly launching her UK debut against this year's X Factor winner, we went in search to find out more about the Russian sensation.

She releases her debut single 'Crazy In My Heart' on December 12.

She describes her sound as a combination of pop with opera, R&B with blues and ballads with dance.

She is a former Mrs World, who after winning the competition joined an international peace delegation to promote South Korea.

She has worked on her forthcoming album with trendy producer and DJ Digital Dog, who has reworked hits for Rihanna, The Saturdays and The Wanted.

She is married to multi-millionaire, businessman and publisher Mohammad Zahoor.

She owns eight dogs, five horses, two rabbits, three parrots and three cats.

She will star alongside James Woods and Stephen Dorff in forthcoming film Office Down, and begins filming a new film with Sharon Stone next year.

In 2004 she was awarded the title 'Honorary Artist of Ukraine for her outstanding achievements in developing Ukraine culture'.
