'X Factor' boyband One Direction are reportedly guaranteed to get a record deal, even if they don't win the show.
According to The Sun, Simon Cowell has already asked music producers to start working on material for the group.
A source said: "It's a done deal. Writers and producers connected with his Syco label have already been asked to pitch tracks for the group."
"Although they're young he doesn't want them to be squeaky clean. He knows they will connect better by being edgy, like JLS or even East 17."
