Black Eyed Pea star Will.i.am is desperate to perform a duet with British opera singer Paul Potts.

The hip-hop star met the tenor - who found fame when he triumphed in the 2007 series of Britain's Got Talent - and admits he is a huge fan.

The pair discussed a collaboration, and will.i.am is so keen on the idea, he tracked down Potts' agent to try to finalise a date.

He really thinks we would work well together

Potts says, "I was at a Google conference recently and will.i.am came up to me and said he was a big fan and asked to do a duet. He really thinks we would work well together.

"I'm not sure how it would work but it would certainly be interesting. A mix of opera and rap.

"My wife is a fan of his music - we play it in the car. I'm not aware of much of it but I know he worked with (Girls Aloud singer) Cheryl Cole... He even called my manager again the other day chasing it up. We'll see.He seems keen".
