McFaddens to team up in studio

Former Westlife star Brian McFadden is so desperate for the public to hear his wife Kerry's singing skills, he's recruited her to duet with him on a forthcoming song.

Brian is now embarking on a solo career following his departure from Westlife earlier this year and he is convinced the ex-Atomic Kitten babe can help him top the charts - even though she's confessed she can't sing.

A source says: "Nobody's sure if it was Kerry who nagged him to be on the album or Brian nagged her to sing. Kerry's got a good pair of lungs but whether she can sing or not is another matter."

The collaboration - Armed and Dangerous - is likely to appear on Brian's debut solo album.
