Katie Price has reportedly called on Ed Sheeran for help as she announces her return to music with an acoustic album.

The 40-year-old is thought to be swapping upbeat pop music for a stripped-back singer-songwriter vibe.

Loose Women panellist Price reportedly told how any profits she makes from the album would go to the British Lung Foundation.

Speaking to the Sun, Price explained: “I’m going to bring out another album, purely to make money for the British Lung Foundation, and want to do acoustic versions.”

Discussing the new venture, Price reportedly hopes to enlist Shape of You star Ed Sheeran, telling him: “Ed, come on!”

The album would mark Price’s second release following her 2006 release of A Whole New World, where she collaborated with then-husband Peter Andre.

The TV personality’s decision to return to music for charity comes as her mother Amy battles terminal lung condition idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

The condition causes scarring of the lungs which leaves sufferers struggling to breathe.

Price told how even a simple cold could cause Amy to die “within a month.”

Speaking to Now Magazine earlier this year, she explained: “My mum is dying, it’s that simple.

They normally diagnose is three to five years but Mum has already had to change her life.

“She’s sold her house because of the stairs. She really struggles with them. But she could get a cold now not get rid of it, and die within month – that’s how bad it is... Either way, she hasn’t got long.”
