X Factor star Reece Bibby could be set to announce his new boyband plans after teasing fans with his tweets.

The former Hollins Technology College pupil, who turned 17 earlier this month, was part of the eight-piece boyband Stereo Kicks which split in July.

The band were created on the talent show last year by head judge Simon Cowell but said that being an unsigned act is ‘tough’ and they can no longer carry on.

Earlier this week Reece tweeted to his 147,000 followers: “Can’t wait for it all to begin... Not long now until I can let you know what I’m up to X.

“I can’t tell you very much at the minute. What I can tell you is, I’m not going solo.”
