This won't be the first time Rita and Ed have collaborated on a song.

In 2015, Ed penned a tune for Rita called Us, although she never released it as a single.

At the time, Rita told Rap-Up: "The record that I have with Ed, he's not featured on, he just wrote.

"It's called Us and for me it's one of the most sweetest, heartwarming, incredible love songs/reality that I've ever heard."

Rita explained: "I did this incredibly beautiful song with Ed about our friendship; he's one of my best friends.

"It's amazing having a friend in this industry of the opposite sex that you haven't hooked up with.

Meanwhile, this week Ed admitted that he uses song writing as therapy for when he’s feeling low.

In a frank interview with Kirsty Young for BBC Radio Four’s Desert Island Discs, he said: "I think any time I’ve ever got down or ever felt low, the one thing that picks me up from that is writing a song about it because at least you’ve got a positive experience out."
