The Script have stated they believe they'd make a "great song" with Adele.

Speaking to MTV News presenter Laura Whitmore, the Irish pop rock group explained why they would want to work with the Skyfall singer, with member Mark Sheehan revealing: "I just said Adele because we write, you know, emotive music and there's not a lot of artists that kind of get it.

"I mean, a lot of artists have their own thing but I think Adele with the voice that she's got, with the kind of lyrics and melody that we write and stuff we'd make a great song together like."

Mark went on to joke: "But it's always pointless this stuff because we're antisocial as a band. We really are. We don't really hang out with a lot of stars.

"We're always in the studio and it's really hard to turn around to a friend and say do you want to sing on this without being unnatural. It's really difficult."
