Sam Sparro has confirmed that he is to start writing songs for the Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan.

Speaking to the Mirror newspaper, Sparro revealed that he has been invited to travel to America by Sam Ronson, the brother of Mark, who is said to be dating Lohan.

"Working with Lindsay is an interesting proposition. I've always been a big fan and I think she's cool,” he said.

"I've never met Sam Ronson but I have met her dad and her sister Charlotte when I was working with Mark at Coachella.

“They are a great family. I'll be heading over to LA and New York in a couple of weeks to start writing for Lindsay and a few other artists. I'm really excited."

Lohan, who has previously released two albums, has also recently been linked with stars including Snoop Dogg and Timbaland.
