Singer Whitney Houston will perform live in Battersea to raise cash for charity.

Around 2,000 guests at Caudwell Children's Legend Ball at Battersea Evolution will hear the 44-year-old diva belt out a string of hits when she appears on May 8.

Caudwell Children is a national charity that has donated more than £5million to more then 2,000 children with 160 medical conditions.

Last year, £1.2million was raised for the charity when Tina Turner sang at the National History Museum.
