Katie said: "I’m so excited to be joining Olly Murs on his up and coming shows in Darlington, Colchester and Kent this summer.

"It’s been such a strange time for everyone over the last 18 months so, and I’m thrilled to be given this opportunity to jump on stage and perform in front of a crowd – especially at The Hop Farm as it’s a spit and a throw from where I grew up in Kent. I can’t wait."
