Kylie Minogue has been added to the bill for a BBC Proms celebration.

She will take part in the Proms in the Park concert in Hyde Park - an outdoor event which marks the traditional Last Night Of The Proms in the nearby Royal Albert Hall.

Kylie - who is celebrating her 25th year as a music star - will be accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra for her show.

She said: "I'm delighted to be performing at one of the UK's most outstanding nights of the musical calendar, and to sing in front of thousands of people whilst being accompanied by the legendary BBC Concert Orchestra in such a special year is truly a dream come true."

Also taking part in the Hyde Park celebration will be Il Divo and tenor Alfie Boe.

Radio 2 presenters Tony Blackburn and Sir Terry Wogan will host the event, now in its 17th year.

Sir Terry said: "To have the Princess of Pop herself, Kylie Minogue, performing in Hyde Park promises to make the concert an unforgettable spectacle."
