Weird front wheel squeak

Ok I posted a couple of days ago with a problem with the engine in my 1.2 8v cutting out when the revs dropped (currently looking into a replacement ICV to see if this solves it)

Now it seems to have developed a weird problem. When cold there's not a worry, but when it gets warm (say after 30mins driving) I get a high-pitched squeaking/squeal like a squeaky brake noise from the front passenger side wheel whilst cruising. Doesn't cause a problem that I can feel but it is a bit annoying. It goes away the second I tap the brakes but comes back again in a few seconds. I've had the brakes checked by 2 different garages and they both said they were fine though they are a little bit worn. Also just had my 2 rear wheel bearings replaced and had them check the front for good measure and the garage said they were both in good nick.

Any ideas what this might be?

its only cheap to do mate 10/15 for new pads and fit them your self or wilco motossave will fit em for a tenner.
