Robbie's been helping Craig Colton with his lyrics

'Rudebox' scribe Robbie Williams has been helping former X Factor con­test­ant Craig Colton with his lyrics.

Talking to The Sun, Colton said: "I send Robbie my lyrics and he tells me what he likes and what he doesn't like. One song — 'Beautiful Surprise' — he described as 'genius'. I couldn't ask for anyone better to help me".

Colton's hoping to go and visit Robbie in LA this summer and will also be per­form­ing at the  Barlow-curated Queen's birthday fest­iv­it­ies in Liverpool.
