One Direction, Jason Derulo and Ed Sheeran are among the acts who have joined the lineup for BBC Radio 1's Teen Awards.

It was previously announced that 'All About Tonight' star Pixie Lott would headline the upcoming event, which celebrates the achievements of inspirational teenagers. The event will be hosted by Nick Grimshaw and The Saturdays' Mollie King.

X Factor boyband One Direction will be joined by fellow contestant Cher Lloyd, while hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks and the now-solo Joe Jonas will also perform at the Wembley Arena event on October 9.

"I've always wanted to go to the Teen Awards and now we're playing at them," Liam Payne from the 'What Makes You Beautiful' group said. "The lineup is incredible - we're very honoured to be part of such a huge event. Massive thanks to Radio 1 for inviting us and we can't wait to see our fans at Wembley."



On her co-hosting role, 'Notorious' singer King said: "I am really thrilled to be co-hosting the Radio 1 Teen Awards with Nick Grimshaw this year. There's a really great line up and its fantastic that the awards celebrate amazing teenagers who deserve to be recognised!''

As well as honouring three 'Teen Heroes', a number of awards including 'Best British Single', 'Best British TV Show' and 'Best British Young Sports Star' will also be handed out.

The BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards will be live on air and streamed online via the Radio 1 website.
