David Cameron has urged ex-Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg to pass on intelligence about IS militants behind hostage kidnaps.
Mr Begg has previously claimed he offered to help the Government secure the release of British aid worker Alan Henning, but says he was prevented from issuing a direct appeal.
He also claimed he knew those who held the 47-year-old, who was murdered by IS militants last week, and and helped to secure the release of hostages from extremists in Syria in the past.
The Prime Minister told BBC's North West Tonight: "We are very happy to work with anybody.
"My understanding is that Moazzam Begg did make some appeals, sadly, as we know, those appeals fell on deaf ears.
"These people in Syria are absolutely brutal and really will stoop to any depths and do the most dreadful and ghastly things, and that is what's happened."
He defended the Government's handling of the hostage situation and added that if Mr Begg had information to provide about the identity of IS militants, "he should provide it".
Last week, Mr Begg walked free from Belmarsh prison after a string of terror charges against him linked to the civil war in Syria were dropped.
Mr Henning's brother Reg has also urged Mr Begg to help save the lives of other IS hostages, including British photojournalist John Cantlie and US aid worker Peter Kassig, who was threatened at the end of the video showing Alan Henning's murder.
