Bedingfield desperate to work with Diddy

Pop star Natasha Bedingfield is desperate to work with Sean 'Diddy' Combs - as she loves collaborating with a wide range of artists.

The 'Unwritten' singer - who has worked with rapper Ne-Yo on a forthcoming track - insists she wants to explore her hip-hop side, and would love to work with the genre's heavyweights - including super-producer Pharrell Williams, and Missy Elliott.

"Diddy would be a great collaboration," she said. "I'm going to suggest it to him.

"The other person I totally respect is Pharrell. There are a lot of people who have major musical ideas and I would love to get together with. Missy Elliott is a huge one.

"I love collaborating, it's my favourite thing about what I do. I love the chemistry, the idea of bringing two people from different places with different experiences and seeing what they end up creating."
