Eurovision star Karl Broderick has been working on songs for Olly Murs’ new album.
The Dublin songwriter – who is married to TV3’s Alan Hughes – got involved with the X Factor singer in Los Angeles.
He was spending a number of weeks in the States with One Direction’s management, Modest Management, who also look after Olly.
And Karl revealed he’ll be working with Olly again soon – after he sees his work on the star’s fourth record.

“Olly’s manager, Mark Murphy, has really been pushing me and my songs out in LA,” he said.
“And when I was there recently I got to work with Olly when he was writing and recording his fourth album.
“He’s such a nice guy, so down to earth and we had a great time together. It was great to see him work as well.

“One evening he was concerned about writing the lead song for the new album and the next day he came back to me and he had written it overnight.
“He sang it for me and it’s just brilliant, it’s so exciting to see him go in a new direction. It’s very brave.”

And Karl – who was disappointed when The Movie Song, with Eoghan Quigg didn’t get picked for Eurovision – told the Herald he also ended up hanging out with Brian McFadden’s ex Delta Goodrem.
He said: “We had a great time hanging out as well, one night we went bowling with Delta and her friend which was an absolute blast.
“Her friend writes the winners’ songs for the Australian X Factor so we had great chats together. We had such a fun night.”
