The duo contemplate Billie Holiday cover

Amy Winehouse has spoken about the rumours she is to collaborate with Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty on a track.

Winehouse first started the whispers when she mentioned she was meeting the Babyshambles frontman with a view to working with him on an edition of the BBC2 quiz, ’Never Mind The Buzzcocks’.

Winehouse has now explained the pair intend to record together, but cannot decided what material to work on.

“(Doherty) wanted to do a Billie Holiday cover and I like, no, let’s write something together," told BBC 6 Music. "I like writing songs, he’s an amazing songwriter and I’d love to say that I wrote a song with Pete Doherty.”

Meanwhile, Winehouse is set to release new single ’You Know I’m No Good’ on January 8, which features a remix by Wu Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah.
