JLS have suggested that a One Direction collaboration is on the cards.

The two acts are both X Factor alumni and it seems the new year could see them team up together.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Oritse Williams revealed that he has already sounded out One Direction's Niall Horan and Liam Payne about the project. He said:

"I've already said to Niall and Liam I'm looking forward to getting a track written together. It could happen next year."

JB Gill meanwhile added: "We've always wanted to collaborate with Rihanna, and Ed [Sheeran] would be great too. I know we could come up with something good."

As previously reported, JLS recently announced that they have enlisted One Direction for a special charity competition.

The 'Hottest Girl In The World' stars are teaming up with Cancer Research to allow a lucky fan the chance to see One Direction soundcheck at London's O2 Arena in spring.
