Cheryl Cole is also mentoring Rebecca Ferguson on The X Factor 2010

Cheryl Cole wants to duet with X Factor finalist Cher Lloyd.

The Girls Aloud star hopes to get in the studio with the rapper, 17, once the ITV show is over.

'Maybe I could rap on a track with her,' Cheryl, 27, said on The Xtra Factor. 'That would be cool.'

Simon Cowell, 51, reckons a collaboration would be a huge success.

'It's a brilliant idea - Cher and Cheryl to duet on her debut album,' he added. 'We have a verbal contract.'

Cher, Rebecca Ferguson, Matt Cardle and One Direction are in The X Factor 2010 final.
