Diana Vickers will release her debut album in March next year, her record label RCA has confirmed.

The 2008 X Factor semi-finalist, who is currently starring in West End musical The Rise & Fall Of Little Voice, is expected to release her first single a month earlier.

The 18-year-old previously revealed that she has teamed up with songwriters including Cass Lowe, Chris Braide and Nerina Pallot for the record.

The album is also expected to include a track written with Savan Kotecha called 'Sharks', as well as 'Jumping Into Rivers', which leaked earlier this year.
