Rebecca Ferguson, who stars in the upcoming X Factor tour, has been handed a record deal.
According to the Sun, the singer, who made it through to the final four of last year's X Factor, has been signed to Sony label Epic.
It was earlier reported that Simon Cowell had promised all four X Factor finalists record deals.
However, while fellow finalists Matt Cardle, One Direction and Cher Lloyd have all been signed up by Cowell's Syco label, Ferguson has been made to sweat on her deal.
But now it has emerged that, more than a month after the show ended, she has also gained a recording contract.
Cowell has previously passed former X Factor acts JLS and Olly Murs to Epic, meaning the Scouse singer will be in good company.
Rebecca Ferguson will be one those taking part in the upcoming X Factor Live Tour, which starts at the LG Arena in Birmingham on February 19th.
