Dua Lipa has been invited to next summer's Hay Festival alongside author Margaret Atwood and The Proclaimers and for sure it’s a proud moment for her.

The Sweetest Pie singer 27, who also gave the keynote speech at this year's Booker Prize ceremony, will record her podcast, Dua Lipa: At Your Service, at the 36th edition of the literary event in Hay-on-Wye, Wales.

Speaking to Olympian Mo Farah, Schitt's Creek's Dan Levy, and Trevor Noah as part of her interview series, on Monday, she confirmed her appearance.

Dua revealed: 'I have wanted to explore the bookshops of Hay and experience the literary atmosphere of the Hay Festival for such a long time.

'So I'm thrilled that I will be there next year to share stories on stage and off with some of my favourite authors, and to soak up the inspiration alongside my fellow book-lovers.'

Dua will be joined by two-time Booker Prize winner Margaret, 83, who will tell the audience about her short story collection, Old Babes In The Wood.
