Britain's Got Talent runners-up Loveable Rogues have signed with Simon Cowell's Syco record label - just a month after it was revealed producers of the talent show fast-tracked the three piece through the audition process.

The trio reached the finals of the 2012 show, after admitting their first ever audition was in front of the celebrity judging panel. Eddie Brett of the group saidd at the time: "Yes, we did get approached," with Sonny Jay adding: "The audition in front of the judges was the first we’d done."

They were eventually beaten by a dancing dog. Simon Cowell has now signed the Chigwell three-piece to his record label and the boyband have spoken of their excitement at their record deal.

Eddie says: “We are buzzing, this is everything we've been working towards and now it's happening we are so happy!”

Sonny adds: "Syco is a fresh label working with some great acts and making big movements globally. We are really excited to join the family."

Loveable Rogues previously won the Jack Wills Unsigned Competition in 2010.
