He said: “My aim is to get a career regardless of what Simon said. Hopefully people will be interested to see if I can cut it live.”

And Nikk also hopes to release a single later this year.

He said: “I’ve signed up with a management company in London and they are going to push me all the way.

“I’ve spoken to a few songwriters who’ve worked with people like Will Young and The Lighthouse Family.

“I’m hoping to get a single out in November and an album in the new year.”

In 2002 he appeared on reality show Popstars: The Rivals.

He went on to be a member of the group Phixx who performed with Girls Aloud and Blue at the Galpharm Stadium in 2004.

Nikk has performed solo at clubs across Yorkshire.
