Jessie Ware has opened up on her recent collaboration with Ed Sheeran.

The 'x' singer-songwriter penned a track for the British star and the tune is expected to feature on Ware's upcoming record 'Tough Love'.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Ware praised Sheeran's songwriting ability and the way he managed to get the best out of her voice.

She said: "We wrote a song together and he's playing guitar on it. The way Ed writes and his work ethic is incredible. I have to give him so much credit for being able to write something that's so right for me and elevates the way I sing - he really pushed me hard.

"It was such a pleasure to work with him because he is ridiculously talented. I feel lucky that I got a glimpse of him in the flesh writing a song."
