But it is now said that the Vossi Bop hitmaker will team up with one of his most unlikely partners yet, in the form of social media star Francis.

Francis – Luke Nicolson – rose to fame during the lockdown for posting happy trainspotting videos online and has since racked up a staggering 66 million likes on his videos.

Since his first TikTok clip in February 2021, the excited Francis has risen to become a social media superstar, with the 23-year-old now boasting millions of followers, with his TikTok account boasting over 3.1 million fans, while his Instagram 2 million has.

And now it looks like Stormzy wants a piece of the action after the two hit it off after meeting at the Glastonbury festival this summer.

A source told The Sun: ‘It’s the most unlikely match in music, but Stormzy and Francis really hit it off.
