She's been in the bottom two from day one - but could Rihanna turn Rachel Adedeji's luck around?

She may be struggling to win over the public - but if rumours are to be believed, Rachel Adedeji has one seriously VIP fan - in the shape of superstar Rihanna!

According to reports Rachel Adedeji has attracted interest from US music scouts who work with Rihanna - and are lining her up to sing with Princess RiRi - and fellow chart topper Akon.

A source says "Rachel is hugely excited. She couldn't believe there was that level of interest in her. She loves Rihanna and even modelled her looks and hairdo on her." And apparently it was none other than current number 1 and last year's X Factor winner Alex Burke who put a good word in for Rach. "Alex has been instrumental, and vouched for Rachel's talent and capability."

What do you reckon? Can you see these two duetting together?

At least if the singing doesn't work out she could still get a job... as Ri's stunt double.
