Jonathan And Charlotte came 2nd in Britain's Got Talent 2012

Opera singers Jonathan Antoine and Charlotte Jaconelli are reported to have signed a £1m recording contract with Simon Cowell's label Syco.

The pair, who narrowly lost out in the Britain's Got Talent final to Ashleigh Butler and her dancing dog Pudsey, are expected to release their first album on 3 September.

'Appearing on the show has been a huge confidence boost and I'm still pinching myself that we are actually making our album,' says Jonathan, 17.

'Thank you to everyone for making this happen for us.'  

And it seems BGT boss Simon is just as excited about Jonathan And Charlotte's first record.

'This show is designed to give people like Jonathan and Charlotte an opportunity,' says Simon, 52.

'I think their debut album is going to be stunning.'
