Who else would Ella Eyre like to collaborate with?

Speaking to The Sun online Ella revealed she like to team up with Ed Sheeran and Stormzy.

She said: "There's a few qualms about Ed Sheeran, but he wrote the biggest album of the year and there's no denying he can write a bloody good pop song. I'd love to write a song with Ed Sheeran.

"Stormzy's amazing. and what a great guy. I love him. He really made an eclectic album that was accessible for all types of people and he's going to go down in history I think. I love him as a person, even if he only appeared in one of my videos that would be great."
