Leona keen for Timberlake collaboration

Rex Features

Leona Lewis has said that she thinks it's "cool" that Justin Timberlake wants to collaborate with her.

Timberlake said last month that he was hoping to work with The X Factor winner on his next album.

Recalling her reaction to his comments, Lewis told DS: "I'm like, 'How do you even know who I am, dude?'

"He wants to work with me on some songs, which is cool with me... He's Justin Timberlake!"

She added: "I met him and sang with him at one of his shows. He did his whole album and I did a few songs. It was great. He's so down-to-earth. It's lovely!"
