The 23-year-old musician - who appeared in the 'Boys' hitmaker's video last year - has revealed more collaborations are on the way after the pair have been writing together in the studio.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column, he said: "We've worked together in the studio, writing. She's really cool."

Tom has wasted no time starting work on the follow-up to his debut album 'Lighting Matches', which was released in July and peaked at number five in the UK Albums Chart.

The 'Found What I've Been Looking For' singer admitted he doesn't want to take too long before bringing out his second LP as he wants to keep momentum going.

He added: "I'm not going to go away for too long. I don't want to be forgotten about."

Tom already has a host of famous fans - Example and Professor Green were both spotted at his Brixton Academy show earlier this month - but the most surreal one of all is Sir Elton John.

The star can't quite get his head around the 'Rocket Man' legend "appreciating" his music, but explained while it is a huge deal he is trying to stay grounded.

He previously said: "It's pretty mad. I'm just a boy from Bedford who grew up in a normal life. So it's humbling and unusual. Especially Elton John.

"My mum's a massive fan, I'm a massive fan. So when he is saying and appreciating what I'm doing, it's pretty mad. It's cool, though. I'm taking it in my stride, I'm like yes! I'm here! And I'm staying!"
