Big Brother contestant Chanelle Hayes has announced she is launching a pop career.

The celeb wannabe told reporters at the 2008 Children's Champions Awards her new single was "really good".

She said: "It's sexy for the boys and then feministic for the girls it's really dead good. It's really exciting you'll love it hopefully."

Despite her rather limited musical experience, the tabloid favourite said she was enjoying rehearsals.

"It's really fun at the moment practising and meeting loads of fun people and stuff.

"Ben (Vanessa Feltz's fiance) who wrote the single was really really good so I had a lot of support from people."

The Children's Champion Awards were held to honour those who have made an outstanding contribution to youngsters in the UK.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown attended the event with wife Sarah, along with England manager Fabio Capello and singer Emma Bunton.

The Spice Girl said: "I've just met some wonderful people who have been so brave. It's been amazing.

"A lot of them were saying 'I'm just doing what anyone would do', but I think in this day and age people don't. I'm so proud of all these people in here because they've really gone forward and done good."
