Olly Murs and Ella Eyre are among the stars joining Take That at the British Summer Time Hyde Park concert.

The X Factor presenter, who will join the band on July 9, will also have his own set, it has been confirmed.

He said: “Hyde Park is an amazing place for a gig, and I've actually never played there so this is going to be up there with the biggest shows I've done.

“I love the Take That guys and it'll be great to see them there.

“Everyone who comes to my gigs knows I like enjoying myself and having loads of fun with the crowd ... I'm looking forward to a great night.”

Rising star Eyre will also have her own slot at the concert, as will Jamie Lawson and The Wanted star Nathan Sykes, who has recently gone solo.

Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald were named as the first headliners for this year’s Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time festival back in November.

“If someone would have told us in 1991, 'Hey guys, in 24 years you're going to be playing at one of the most famous parks in the world', I probably wouldn't have believed whoever said it,” they said in a statement.
