With the Disney live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast mere months away now, Disney have announced that Ariana Grande and John Legend are teaming up to record the iconic eponymous duet for the film.
Although rumours had been floating around for a few days following Ariana releasing a photo of her in the recording booth with a rose as the caption, it’s now been confirmed. Josh Gad, who plays Gaston’s sidekick Lefou in the movie, tweeted earlier welcoming them to the family.

The song, which won the Oscar for Best Song in 1992, is best known for the version sung by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson, which can be heard below. Beauty and the Beast hits UK cinemas on the 17th March.
