Maverick Sabre teases collaboration with Rizzle Kicks as he reveals he has 'something special' planned at Glastonbury
Irish singer-songwriter Maverick Sabre has teased a potential collaboration with British band Rizzle Kicks as he reveals he has 'something special' planned for his upcoming appearance at Glastonbury festival.
The musician appeared on a Vodafone advert with the One Show presenter Roman Kemp and Harley Alexander-Sule, 33, from the hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks.
Roman, 32, asked the Let Me Go singer: 'So you guys have got something in common this summer. You're both playing Glastonbury festival. What's the connection going to be like there? I mean are you linking up? What's the deal?'
Maverick, 34, cryptically replied: 'We'll figure out something special.'
It has set tongues wagging amongst music fans who are convinced the friends will take the stage together for a joint performance.
Mama Do The Hump singers Rizzle Kicks are performing on The Other Stage on Friday 27th June, while Maverick is playing on the Lonely Hearts Club stage the following day.

The news that Rizzle Kicks were performing at Glastonbury Festival was accidentally announced in April.
Harley's band mate Jordan Stephens, 33, appeared on Arsenal's YouTube channe and was forced to make the revelation.
Radio host Roman Kemp caused the mishap when he said outright to Jordan, 'You're playing Glastonbury this year,' to which the singer interrupted and said: 'I haven't actually announced that yet…'
Harley has previously opened up about his 'crippling anxiety' and confessed he still feels 'awful' for cancelling the band's tour in 2016.
The British musician admitted he 'couldn't visualise' doing a tour after he suffered from a panic attack on stage.
Speaking to Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast, the star said: 'I thought I was (having) a f*****g heart attack. Then we had a tour (which we) had to cancel because I just couldn't visualise doing that,'
'I still feel f*****g awful about that, but at the time, I had to take care of myself.'
He then opened up on how his anxiety took control of his life and caused him to spiral into a 'deep depression'.
He admitted: 'That anxiety spilled into everything, every part of my life, you know, I couldn't get on the tube.'
'It kind of caused me to spiral into quite a deep, deep depression.'
'Because the thing I love doing, being a performer, being an artist, being a person who likes being around other creative people, was like, zapped away from me,'
'And I was kind of left with, this idea of who I used to be and that longing to be that person again, but with the physical incapability of doing so.'
It comes as Rizzle Kicks's Jordan Stephens celebrated his five years with his girlfriend, the Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall.
The pop star, 32, and her Rizzle Kicks rapper boyfriend first sparked a romance after he asked a mutual friend to set them up back in 2019.
Jade then took matters into her own hands, dropping Jordan a DM on Instagram asking for his 'pitch'.
A few Zoom dates later the smitten couple were making their first public appearance together at a July 2020 Black Trans Lives Matter rally where they were pictured arm-in-arm.
Five years on and the couple are still going strong - with Jade and Jordan appearing as loved-up as ever as she shared a gushing tribute to him on their anniversary.
As their dog scurried past the camera, the video posted on TikTok showed a pyjama-clad Jade surprising her boyfriend in bed with a bunch of flowers and balloons to mark the special day.
The post then cut to a compilation of Jade's favourite videos of Jordan, including smitten clips of the couple recording music, dancing and goofing around together.
The spark seems very much still alive between the two musicians, who appeared completely smitten as they celebrated their milestone.
A host of fans took to the comments section to congratulate their 'favourite couple' on five years together.
They wrote: 'Happy anniversary to my favourite chaotic couple love you',
'I'm so happy for you both! It's been such a privilege to witness your relationship and love for each other! Thank you for giving us these glimpses into your life',
'This man is just a walking green flag I love that for you! He just gets it how humans are supposed to be',
'Couple goals. Fully supporting each other without the need to justify yourselves. Beautiful. A couple like no other.'

Michelle Obama: I'm glad I don't have a son — he would have turned out like my husband
Michelle Obama has said she is 'so glad' she did not have a son because he would have turned out like her husband, Barack Obama. The former first lady made the comments on a podcast amid rumours of tension in the couple's relationship, although she has denied claims that they are on the verge of divorce. 'I'm so glad I didn't have a boy because he would have been a Barack Obama,' Mrs Obama, who has two daughters, Sasha and Malia, said on a podcast she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson on Wednesday. Angie Martinez, a radio personality appearing on the episode, responded: 'Baby Barack. It would have been amazing.' 'No, I would've felt for him,' Mrs Obama countered. Earlier in the same episode, she appeared to take a veiled swipe at her husband, who has enjoyed practising his golf game post-presidency. 'Parenting is like fly-fishing. Never been fly fishing but from what I've seen about it it's all in the wrist it's a very delicate balance... it's like nothing works the same way every time,' she said. 'It's elegance, right? It's not dunk and drop and grab... We should go fly fishing. Better than golfing,' she added, laughing. The Daily Mail reported on Thursday that Mrs Obama had flown to holiday in Mallorca with her daughters without her husband. Photos show the 61-year-old enjoying a drink at The Lobster Club in Puerto Portals, accompanied by James Costos, the former US ambassador to Spain, and his partner Michael Smith, an interior designer who has worked for the Obamas. However, in a previous podcast episode this month she praised Mr Obama as a 'tremendous father' in an interview with singer Bruce Springsteen, whom Donald Trump recently labelled a 'dried-up prune'. Mrs Obama, who recently has opted not accompany her husband to a number of high-profile events, including the funeral of former president Jimmy Carter in January, has claimed reports of strains in her marriage are sexist. 'If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it,' she told a podcast in May. The month before, she told podcast host Sophia Bush: 'We as women, I think we struggle with, like disappointing people. 'So much so that this year people were, they couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing... that's what society does to us.'
