Chloe Khan says the chart success of Towie’s Megan McKenna inspired her to challenge X Factor winner for Christmas number one
X FACTOR star Chloe Khan has revealed her dramatic music return is down to Towie’s Megan McKenna.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star announced she will be releasing a single to challenge Simon Cowell and the X Factor winner for Christmas number one.
She says Megan’s new country music fame gave her the inspiration to make a music comeback, the Sun can reveal.
Chloe, 27, also wants to do a duet with her after her single High Heeled Shoes shot to number on the iTunes chart.
She said: "I've listened to Megan McKenna's song and I love it, that's what gave me an idea to come back.
"I love singing, but when I went on X Factor I didn't really want to be a singer I just wanted to do anything I could to get out there, but I do love music.
“When I wake up I've got music on, when I'm in the car I've got music on, so I do love it and I am definitely interested in releasing a single.”
Chloe, who found fame on the X Factor in 2010, unveiled some eyebrow raising artwork for her cover of The Weather Girls' classic hit It's Raining Men earlier this week.
She had mocked up the heads of judges on the show Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh on her body in lingerie.
Chloe said: "I'm more of a business person than a fame person, I love to make money, I love paperwork, I love being behind my computer setting targets and stuff, I love business stuff that other people wouldn't enjoy.
“I feel like I've got two different sides, I feel like I've got a making money side to me and the fame side. I want to stay around."
Chloe made it as far as boot camp on the X Factor.
But she was kicked off the show after she turned up smelling of vodka and wearing the same clothes as the night before after admitting she'd stayed up all night partying.
The mum-of -one’s appearances on the show led to numerous details of her private life hitting the headlines – including the fact she was working as a £160-an-hour prostitute.
She then disappeared from the limelight before returning to the spotlight on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, when her controversial romance with eventual winner Stephen Bear dominated the series.
