X Factor’s JLS on verge of signing record contract

Boyband set to join Simon Cowell's label Song BMG

JLS were mentored by Louis Walsh on The X Factor

JLS are said to be on the verge of signing a multi-million pound record contract with music giants Sony BMG.

The boyband came second to Alexandra Burke in The X Factor and are thought to have been offered their own chance to top the charts.

‘They are going to be without doubt the biggest band we have ever had on this show,’ mentor Louis Walsh tells The Sun.

JLS - JB Gill, Marvin Humes, Oritse Williams and Aston Merrygold – narrowly missed out on the top prize and judge Dannii Minogue expects big things from them.

‘The hysteria surrounding them is reminiscent of Take That’s early days,’ she says.
