Vinnie Jones is Joss's Muse

Vinnie Jones makes a guest appearance on Joss Stone's new album, 'Introducing Joss Stone', MTV can reveal.

The former footy tough nut and 'Lock, Stock...' actor introduces the new long-player with a little spiel AND he sings on a hidden track.

"I wanted someone to introduce the record and I love Vinnie cos I love his accent and he's a football player - and i'm into my football," Joss revealed. "I love him cos he's so funny."

The red-haired singer who left viewers of the Brits bemused by her transatlantic accent, last week, added, "He's got that spirit, that's just like 'f*ck it', which is my spirit as well - we kinda connect like that.

"I call him up now - it's like we've known each other for years (but) I'd never spoken to him before in my life!"

Describing her initial call to the former Wimbledon player (and Gazza ball-grabber), Joss went on, "(I said), 'You know, I've made this album and want to play it for you to see if you're interested (in doing) a little chat for me at the beginning cos I I love your voice'.

"And he went silent for about half a second and then said 'Yeh, alright, i'll do it'. No thought! I love that about him. And we sing at the end - it's like a secret track. You leave it rolling for a little bit and then you hear it."

Should be extremely interesting!
