Kimberley Walsh to record official Olympics Team GB and Paralympics GB single

Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh has joined forces with popular tenor Alfie Boe and together they will record a cover of iconic rock band Queen's 'One Vision' for the 2012 London Olympics.

The track will serve as the official single for the Olympics and Paralympics Team GB, and the pair will debut their version of the song on May 11 at London's Royal Albert Hall.

A statement was issued about the release and Walsh, who has been starring in the musical stage production of 'Shrek', explained that she is honoured to be a part of the celebrations: "So excited to be supporting Team GB with Alfie. Bring on the gold medals!"

Boe added: "It's a huge honour to sing 'One Vision' for Team GB with Kimberley. Being a massive Queen fan, I was very excited about recording the track - I hope everyone likes it."
