Shayne Ward is at a specialist Los Angeles writing camp to help improve his song-writing skills.
The singer - who shot to fame when he won TV talent show 'The X Factor' in 2005 - is desperate to resurrect his career, and thinks the hardcore camp is the perfect way to help him get back into the limelight.
He said: "I'm at writing camp in the amazing surroundings of Laguna Beach. I love Los Angeles and I'm seriously considering buying a place over here at some point."
Shayne also revealed he is a huge fan of new Batman movie 'The Dark Knight', which sees actor Christian Bale reprise his role as Batman/ Bruce Wayne for the second time.
He added: "I went to the movies with a few of the guys last night and watched the new Batman film. Wow - what an incredible, action packed picture - I recommend it to all of you. Go now and get a ticket!"
