Diana Vickers has confirmed that she hopes to work with Patrick Wolf in the future.

The former X Factor singer was rumoured to have collaborated with Wolf on her upcoming debut album, but she told DS that the pair were too busy to do a track together.

Vickers said: "I actually met up with Patrick Wolf and went to go and see him perform, but in the end it didn't really work out.

"I was really, really busy and he was busy and we didn't end up working together, but we've always said it's something we really want to do in the future - but it never got on the album, no."

Vickers also revealed that she met Lightspeed Champion, aka Dev Hynes, at a book signing, adding that the songwriter was like a "mad professor" in the studio.
