Sir Elton John has spoken about working with Lady Gaga, saying he “adores” the singer.

The pair, who met last year, have recorded a duet for Sir Elton's forthcoming musical movie, Gnomeo & Juliet.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, the singer said he was “thrilled” when Lady Gaga agreed to record the song 'Hello, Hello'.

"We became friends, and I adore her," he said.

"I told her about the song, and she said, 'I'd love to do it,' and she did it. We're just so thrilled she took time out of her incredibly busy schedule to do it."

He added: "She had fun with it and changed it a little bit and brought her own personality to it, so she gave Juliet that personality.”

Gnomeo & Juliet tells the traditional William Shakespeare story of Romeo & Juliet, but through the eyes of a garden gnome.

It stars the likes of Jason Statham, James McAvoy and Emily Blunt.
