Disclosure have opened up on speculation linking them with working with Madonna.

The dance duo were pictured last year with the veteran singer, leading to collaboration gossip.

Madonna herself later said that she didn't have time to work with the pair on 2015 album 'Rebel Heart'.

Speaking to NME, Disclosure said that the idea of a duet with Madonna never got off the ground.

Howard Lawrence said: "We never really had any indication that we were going to be working together.

"We met her and hung out and she's a lovely person and she's a fan - and I mean, who's not a fan of Madonna? 

"We did discuss maybe working together one day but we never tried to put dates in or anything like that. But I wouldn't say we were disappointed because we never really got our hopes up."
