Tom Jones has revealed that he wants to work with fellow Welsh popstar Duffy.

Speaking at the Grammy Foundation's Starry Night Gala, the 'Sexbomb' singer named Duffy as his ideal duet partner.

"Duffy, you know because she's Welsh," he said. "And she can sing, not just because she's Welsh. I'd like to do something with her."

Jones's 1999 album Reload was comprised of 15 duets, including collaborations with Welsh acts Stereophonics and Cerys Matthews.

Duffy recently disclosed that Americans often mistake Tom Jones for her dad.
