Professor Green has revealed that he has a new friend to confide in - Coldplay's Chris Martin.

Green and Coldplay have toured together in the past - including late last year - and talking to The Sun, the rapper spoke of how Martin's more caring side revealed itself after Green spoke of his late father.

The pair were out dining together when the friendship blossomed. He said:

"Chris is clearly a brilliant mind. He took us out to dinner when we were on tour with their band and I really enjoyed having a good chinwag with him. He's very inquisitive. We went for dinner and he was asking me questions about growing up. Somehow we got on to the subject of my dad and obviously, with him having committed suicide, it all got quite dark."

"But instead of switching subjects we ended up talking more. It resulted in him saying, 'Well, if ever you are thinking about committing suicide, just phone me and we'll go for a pizza and just talk'"
