The veteran singer said the pair discussed a collaboration when they met at his gig at London’s Royal Albert Hall last year.

“We're working on partnering up to record a duet but it's still in the works,” Bennett told The Sun.

Meanwhile, Winehouse is currently on tour in Brazil, where she is reportedly being paid £5million for five gigs. She was joined by Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood ahead of one show.

The singer is also working on her new album and follow-up to her 2006 Grammy Award-winning effort, ‘Back To Black’.
