Will Young to headline charity ball

Pop star Will Young is to headline this year's Dolce Vita charity ball.

The event, taking place at London's Billingsgate market on December 11, has already seen the likes of David and Victoria Beckham on the guest list.

At past events, acts such as Lionel Richie, Beyonce Knowles and Sting have performed to the celebrity audience, but this year the stage will be graced by Young, Beverley Knight and the Opera Babes.

At £800 a ticket, the organisers are aiming to raise £1 million for the CLIC Sargeant children's cancer charity.
