Rachel Hylton has revealed that she has been offered a record deal.

The 25-year-old mum-of-five, who was voted off The X Factor on Saturday, described the show as a "great platform" for her future singing career.

"I have been approached by a record company but I'm not going to name them," she told DS.

"Obviously I'm in contract [with The X Factor] until next year so I won't be doing anything else for a while. For the time being I'm seeing what offers are out there."

Hylton also insisted that she has no regrets about her time on the show, saying: "Definitely not! The X Factor has given me such a great platform and it's really boosted my confidence on stage.

"Would I have done anything differently? Maybe I wouldn't have had scenes because I couldn't sing what I wanted to!"
