Spice Girl Melanie C is to headline the 2023 Grand Prix ball to raise money for Unicef.

The pop star will sing a live set at the annual event, which will feature performances from Strictly Come Dancing stars Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington.

Each year the Grand Prix ball welcomes motor racing heroes, sporting stars and celebrities to raise money for the humanitarian charity, which operates in 190 countries worldwide.
