Sam Bailey has revealed that she would love to duet with Gary Barlow on The X Factor – but that her ideal singing partner would be Michael Bolton.
Speaking to a celebrity website, the mother-of-two revealed that she even had a song already picked out for her and Gary.
Unreality TV quoted Sam as saying: “If I got to duet with Gary, I would probably do A Million Love Songs because that song just takes me straight back to being young.
“And it’s just an amazing song. I love the piano in it and I could chuck in a few harmonies.”
When talking about the possibility of having a guest join her in the later stages of the competition, however, Sam said she would look to the other side of the Atlantic.
“I’d love to sing with Michael Bolton,” she told the site. “But I don’t think he’d be available. He’s too famous!”
Despite her new-found fame on The X Factor, Sam insisted that she has not given up on her career as a prison officer.
“I am on a career break, but I don’t want to completely detach myself from the prison service because it’s become a passion of mine to help rehabilitate people,” she told the site.
“I’ve learned so much from being a prison officer, and though some days it’s a tough job, and you’ve got to be really thick skinned, it’s a really rewarding job.
“So yeah, I don’t want to break away from it altogether. It’s a job I’ve loved for three years, and everyone’s been so supportive of me, I can’t thank them all enough.”
