The QPR footballer explained that he used to sing to group member Marvin Humes when they were young, and may have continued with him had he not followed football.   &amp;quot;We were the original JLS,&amp;quot; he told The Sun. &amp;quot;We used to sing a lot together when we were younger and do talent competitions. &amp;quot;We had a group of friends that used to go round each other&amp;#039;s houses and sing.&amp;quot; Ferdinand joked that he would be interested in a duet with the group if the opportunity came up. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d definitely like to think about a collaboration with them in the future,&amp;quot; he said.
