Alesha Dixon has described Gary Barlow as a "genius" and admitted that it felt like an "honour" to record her new single with him.

The singer flew to Los Angeles to record 'To Love Again', but said that she felt guilty about disrupting Barlow's family holiday.

"I've been a fan of Take That since I was 14, so when I first met Gary I was a little bit starstruck," she wrote on her blog.

"But we've become really good friends since going up the mountain together for Comic Relief. He is a genius so it was an absolute honour to write the song with him.

"Take That had just finished their tour and Gary was on holiday in LA so I did feel a little bit guilty that I interrupted his holiday for him to write a song with me!"

Dixon releases 'To Love Again' on November 15. The re-release of her album The Alesha Show follows a week later.
