Patrick Wolf has admitted that he wanted to work with The Cheeky Girls on his new record Bachelor.

The star revealed that he had hoped twin sisters Gabriella and Monica Irimia would speak Transylvanian on one of the album's songs, but he ran out of time.

"A friend of mine was a PA for Mama Cheeky once, so I think there's connections there. I'm on the hunt for the The Cheeky Girls," he told The Quietus.

Wolf went on to explain that he wanted a Transylvanian theme on the album because of the region's mythological past.

"Dracula and vampires were great to illustrate the idea of addiction, the idea that when you're bitten by this thing you're addicted to blood," he said.

"I thought it was a metaphor for a great many things. So I was thinking of getting The Cheeky Girls in to do some spoken-word Transylvanian on it."

Bachelor is released on June 1.
