Following his hugely celebrated return to performing, the Scottish singer-songwriter's appearances are expected to be among the hottest tickets of the entire summer.But BST Hyde Park has evolved into much more than a music festival.

The presenter will lead a mass fitness session before taking part in an honest discussion about confidence, resilience and wellbeing, topics she has become increasingly passionate about in recent years.Olympic legend Sir Mo Farah will also be taking over Hyde Park, giving fans the opportunity to run alongside one of Britain's greatest-ever athletes.
