The Wanted reveal Bieber collaboration

The Wanted have revealed Justin Bieber will feature on their new album.

Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes are gearing up to release their third musical offering.

Although no title or release date is yet known, the boys have let fans in on what they can expect.

"Dr. Luke, Rita Ora, Nasri, who does a lot of Bieber's stuff, [and] Justin himself," Max told MTV News UK when asked who would feature on the record.

Youngest member Nathan made his comeback at Capital FM's Summertime Ball yesterday after taking time out following an operation on his vocal cords in April.

Having all five members back together bodes well for their follow-up to 2011's Battleground, which spurned hits such as Glad You Came and Warzone.

"Nath's back, so yeah, I think it's gonna be our best album yet and hopefully there'll be a couple of surprise collabs there as well," Max added.

The UK band recently introduced fans to hot new single Walks Like Rihanna, which was inspired by the popular Barbadian singer.

It's had a great response from everyone, including the lady herself.

"We met her manager Jay Brown in New York and he said that he really liked it and that she really liked it which is always a good sign, 'cause if she hated it we'd be in a pretty bad place," Tom joked.

"We'd put it out anyway!" Max said, with Jay adding: "I think she's avoiding us since we wrote that one!"

Nathan found out he was suffering from a "haemorrhaging nodule" on his vocal cords in April and underwent emergency surgery soon after.

The band carried on work obligations without the 20-year-old, but are now pleased to have him back.

"It just feels so tender," Jay grinned.
