The pair’s management have allegedly been in talks with a number of record labels over the festive period, since the show concluded but they decided to stick with Cowell and sign to his label.

The announcement was made over Syco’s Twitter account earlier this morning.

"We are so happy to be joining the Syco Music family and releasing our record with them," the pair said.
"It is, literally, a dream come true for us to now do what we love for a living. We promise to work hard and show you all what Reggie N Bollie are made of. Here's to a fun 2016."

The duo also revealed that their mentor on the show, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini was keen to get involved in their fledgling music career.

"She sent us a message telling us that she's there for us.

"She wants to be part of our musical journey, and not just for The X Factor. So anytime we need her, she wants to be full-on helping us.

"We'd definitely like to work with Cheryl. Fuse ODG is also ready to work with us, and Craig David said he's ready to work with us too."
The pair were at the centre of X Factor controversy and claims of show rigging after they were given the same song as the show’s winner Louisa Johnson, a slow song that many thought didn’t suit them, as their winner’s single.

Before they can start work on their own music, the pair have to first get through the X Factor live tour.
