A Worcestershire pop star will join the likes of Ed Sheeran and Camila Cabello on stage at the Concert for Ukraine next week.
Becky Hill has been added to the stellar lineup for the concert, which takes place at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham on Tuesday (March 29) and will be shown live on ITV.
Nile Rodgers and Chic, The Kingdom Choir, Manic Street Preachers and Tom Odell have also joined the lineup, which already included Emeli Sandé, Gregory Porter and Snow Patrol.
Radio presenters Roman Kemp, Marvin Humes and Emma Bunton will host the concert, which will raise funds for the DEC’s ongoing Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
Bewdley-born Becky has had quite a year, with a string of hits including My Heart Goes (La Di Da), Last Time and Remember topped off by winning Best Dance Act at the BRIT Awards in February – although she later admitted she had broken the award.

She also got engaged in January, revealing on social media that boyfriend Charlie Gardner had popped the question while on a romantic break in the Maldives.
As well as being streamed live on ITV and STV, all the backstage action from the Concert for Ukraine will be broadcast live on the Heart and Capital radio networks.
Concert expected to raise £3m for DEC appeal
The two-hour show will feature key performance moments, interviews and backstage atmosphere from the artists performing as well as details of how listeners can donate to the DEC appeal.
ITV has said all sponsorship and advertising revenue generated from the broadcast of the event, which is expected to raise more than £3 million, will also be donated to the DEC appeal.

Camila Cabello, who was among the first artists confirmed for the gig, said: “My heart is breaking for the people of Ukraine.
“As refugees from Ukraine join millions of other displaced people around the globe, we all have a responsibility.
“One of the biggest needs is to get funds to organizations who can serve these communities directly, so we’re focusing our efforts on doing that as quickly as we can.”
