Rikki Loney at Halo Nottingham

Baby-faced Rikki Loney was absolutely lovely and has a pretty impressive voice and stage presence for someone so new to the scene.

The X Factor star did a couple of Amy Whinehouse covers which really demonstrated his vocal ability and was really happy to chat with me and the NTZ girls.

Apparently the next step for him is LA (it's all right for some) on the hunt for a recording contract and the person in the music industry he'd most like to work with is the lovely Adele - I think that would work!

The man is a fan of the phenomenon that is 'JEdward' but bottled out of actually telling us who he'd like to win - who's YOUR money on??!
