Joe Jonas is "really liking" boy band One Direction.

The 22-year-old star admits he is a huge fan of the British music scene, in particular the boy band - who recently hit the top of the UK charts with debut single 'What Makes You Beautiful' - and singer Pixie Lott.

He said: "The current UK music scene is really amazing. It's definitely getting better and better. Every time I'm here and I find new artists and things that I really love listening to.

"I got to meet the One Direction guys and thought they were really nice, really cool and I'm really happy for them. I'm really liking One Direction's stuff. Pixie Lott is a good friend of mine and I love her music and her new stuff sounds incredible."

The 'Just in Love' singer also has his eyes on further British talent he would like to collaborate with in the future.

He said to ChronicleLive.co.uk: "Who would be my dream collaborations? Maybe Kanye West, British artists like Adele, Tinie Tempah, then Foster The People. Something a little different from what I'm used to."
