Joel Compass may have denied reports suggesting he's dating Cheryl Cole - but the singer has confirmed exclusively to MTV News UK that he IS making sweet music with the Geordie babe.

As well as being an artist is in his own right, Compass is also a keen producer, with the Forgive Me singer revealing to our presenter Becca Dudley that Chezza has recruited him to work on her fourth solo album.

Joel said: "I’m doing some stuff for Cheryl’s album… Basically, she played me a few things, just the stuff I haven’t heard her do before.

"It was wicked to hear her kinda doing that and it was kinda soulful. She’s been working with some really good people and I heard it and I was like, I think I can definitely do something for it."

When asked whether he will be singing on Cole's new LP, Compass revealed he will be "producing more so", adding that fans can hear more  from himself and the 30-year old beauty "when her album drops" in the very near future.

As for THAT snap of Cheryl puckering up for a kiss with Joel, which Chezza's Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts posted on Instagram, the 20-year old believes the whole thing was "blown out of proportion".

He went on to explain that he wasn't surprised by the media reaction to the snap, stating: "It’s gonna happen, do you know what I mean like… That’s what it’s all about I guess. But err there’s nothing really to it… We’re just friends. We still hang out."

Seeing as Cheryl has been in the music industry for over a decade, Joel revealed that the best piece of advice the Call My Name singer has given him is to "pick your battles".

Take the blame, I'll take the shame
Clear the passion from my name
Even if you tried, I feel the same

Forgive me while I forget you
Forgive me while I forget you
Forgive me while I forget you
Forgive me while I forget you

Cause I don't need your love
I don't need you love
You might think I do
But I don't need your love, yeah

It's like yeahh-yeahhh
You let me down
You turned me in
And you lie and despise
I don't need you baby
I don't need you baby

When you turn and say you'll leave
Keep your memories far from me
Keep the lies, don't keep the keys
Forgive me while I forget you
Forgive me while I forget you
Forgive me while I forget you
Forgive me while I forget you

Cause I don't need your love
I don't need your love
You might think I do
But I don't need your love, yeah

It's like yeahh-yeahhh
You let me down
You turned me in
And you lie and despise
I don't need you baby
I don't need you baby

It's like
I don't need your love
You can see I don't need your love
Don't need your love
You can see I don't need your love
Don't need your love
You can see I don't want your love
Don't need your love
I don't need your love
I don't need your love
You might think I do
But I don't need your love, yeah
Cause I

You let me down
You turned me in
And you lie and despise
I don't need you, baby
I don't need you, baby

The MTV Brand New For 2014 nominee went on to praise Chezza, stating: "She’s just kind of level headed, down to earth and like chilled. That’s enough in itself, do you know what I mean."

Joel's new single Forgive Me is out on April 20.
