BECKY HILL went to No3 when she teamed up with superstar DJ David Guetta for Remember last year – and now they hope to do even better with another collaboration.
The singer is already having the best of years after getting engaged and winning her first Brit Award, but is expected to enjoy even more success with her and David’s new single What Love Can Do.

A source said: “This is major for Becky. She has looked up to David throughout her career so to get another chance to work with him feels like a dream.
“The single should be out in the next few weeks and it’s a club banger. They want it to be the soundtrack to everyone’s summer.”
Last month at the Brits, David could not hide his pride as he announced Becky as the winner of the Best Dance Act.
On top of the major collab, raver Becky has also landed her first Ibiza residency, so will have plenty of chances to perform her upcoming single.
The Run singer will play regular shows at Ibiza Rocks, with six dates over eight weeks from July 5.
Chatting about the gigs, Becky said: “I have dreamed of my own party in Ibiza – the home of dance music, the magnetic isle of hedonism. And now I have a residency at the legendary Ibiza Rocks.
“I’m beyond excited to be presenting my brand-new show You/Me/Us – a name taken from my song I Could Get Used To This.
“This is the beginning of a new brand of parties curated and designed by me.”

Becky joins fellow Brit chart-topper Joel Corry, who has also landed a residency at the venue.
Meanwhile, Liverpool DJ duo Camelphat have revealed a summer-long residency at outdoor superclub Ushuaia, where Calvin Harris will also be putting on weekly concerts.
After two years out due to Covid, it’s great to see the White Isle finally returning to top form.
SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE…
HE was known as quite the lothario over the past two decades but Blue star Lee Ryan has finally been tamed – as he has wed for the first time.
The All Rise singer married Verity Paris in Gibraltar on Thursday in front of family, friends and their nine-month-old daughter.

And with Covid restrictions finally gone, the newlyweds are also planning a huge bash back home to celebrate with their wider circle, including Lee’s celebrity pals.
He told The Sun: “I met someone finally who loves and supports me in everything I do.
“Verity is a beautiful, strong and loving woman who I treasure.
“And I’m a lucky man to have such a wonderful mother for my child, and now wife, in her.
“I’ve never been more calm and grounded and I have Verity to thank for that.
“I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life because of the wonderful family life I now have.”
Lee has been dating Verity, who appeared on The X Factor in 2009 and has worked as an Ariana Grande tribute act, for just over two years.
They tied the knot at the same Gibraltar register office as John Lennon and Yoko Ono did 53 years ago this week.
A source said: “The link to John and Yoko’s wedding was a cool, fun thing to do, because Lee is a massive fan of John’s work.
“It was an intimate ceremony but they are hoping to throw a spectacular party with all of their friends soon, including his bandmates Duncan James, Simon Webbe and Antony Costa, of course.”
The couple have plenty of time for a honeymoon as there are still six months to go before Blue kick off their 20th anniversary Heart & Soul reunion tour.
And if his new wife wants to show off her own vocal skills, I’m sure Lee can get her up on stage with them too.
CHARLI IS TOO SEXCXY
CHARLI XCX could score her first No1 album with new release Crash – and she was celebrating early after it came out yesterday.
The Beg For You singer wore this tiny leather bra top as she arrived for a raucous night at London club Heaven – where she leapt on stage after 1am and performed two songs.

She was partying at the club’s weekly Porn Idol event, which Adele went to last month and sees revellers strip off in a contest judged by drag queens.
Charli had earlier stopped for cocktails at fancy restaurant Sexy Fish before hitting Heaven and posing for pictures with the judges, club boss Jeremy Joseph and his dog Jacob – who wandered on stage during the stripping.
She was out without her new love interest, The 1975 drummer George Daniel, who co-wrote and produced the title track of her new album and got her to close it with her song Twice.
She revealed: “George, who is good with track- listing, said, ‘You’re an idiot if you don’t put this song last’.”
MILEY’S GOT BRIGHT IDEA
MILEY CYRUS has ditched her lockdown mullet and bleached her hair blonde as she prepares to return to the stage.
The Midnight Sky singer wore this colourful jumpsuit as she arrived in Buenos Aires, where she has flown to perform at Argentine music festival Lollapalooza.

She is still far from shy and retiring, as she greeted fans waiting outside her hotel by sticking out her tongue, posing for photos and shouting: “I need attention!” She got that, all right.
Miley has spent several months working on new music but really delved into her back catalogue when choosing her setlist, as she shared a video on Instagram of her rehearsing her 2008 song Fly On The Wall.
The crowd should make the most of it while they can – because once her next record is out on her new label Columbia, her old material may get much less of a look-in.

GARY BARLOW is giving fans the chance to see him perform his most intimate shows yet after years of headlining arenas.
The TAKE THAT star is bringing his one-man show A Different Stage to London later this year.
Gary will play 18 shows in the West End, kicking off on August 30, taking over the 640-seater Duke of York’s Theatre.
The dates come after a series of sold-out shows across the UK, including in Salford and Liverpool.
SIMON’S BAND AID SOLO SHOCK
SIMON LE BON was shocked when he arrived to record 1984 Band Aid mega-hit Do They Know It’s Christmas? – because he thought it was going to be his own solo tune.
The Duran Duran singer admitted he had no idea it would feature acts including U2 and Status Quo, as he had recorded the demo on his own.

He told Gary Barlow’s We Write The Songs podcast: “I went to the studio to make the demo and I sang the whole song.
“So when we turned up on the actual recording day, I thought, ‘What are all of these people doing here?
“Are they just here for the chorus? Why’s Bono singing my part?’ It was a surprise. But it was amazing being there. I soon realised it wasn’t all about me.”
