Producer Naughty Boy has revealed that he has been working with Lily Allen on her new album.

The 28-year-old wouldn't reveal any details other than saying that she was one of his favourite sessions.

Naughty Boy, who's real name is Shahid Khan, made the comments after his first festival performance at Wireless last weekend.

He also revealed a number of other artists he had worked with since collaborating on Emeli Sande's debut.

"I've just done some tracks for James Arthur's album, Tinie Tempah's next album, Lily Allen and I'm doing something with Britney [Spears]," he said.

"It's a bit mad at the moment."

Talking about the work he'd done with Lily Allen, Naughty Boy revealed that they had "done an amazing song" and said she was an amazing person.

He also revealed more about the track he'd been working on with Britney Spears.

"I can tell you that it's interesting," he revealed. "I'm doing it with a guy called William Orbit, who I'm a big fan of.

"It's amazing, it's interesting and I'm glad that it's going to be more interesting than people expect."

Naughty Boy also said he found his experience of performing for the first time at a festival last weekend weird because he was "normally in the studio" in Watford.

He performed his number one single La La La and had Emeli Sande on as a guest while performing.

But he also added that he had one wish, which was for Jay-Z to get in contact and ask to work with him.

"I would love to do a track with him," he said. "But I'm not going to do it unless he approaches me.

"I'm never going to approach him, because I'm just a shy guy from Watford."

Naughty Boy's next single Lifted is out on 18 August while his debut album Hotel Cabana is out on 26 August.
