Charlotte Church is to appear in a new documentary about phone hacking, ITV has announced.
The Powys-based star is one of many big name figures - also including Prince Harry - appearing in Tabloids On Trial, which airs on July 25.
Hugh Grant and Paul Gascoigne are also among the celebrities who also feature in the documentary as they share their experiences.
The Duke of Sussex will discuss his “mission to continue his fight to expose the illegal tactics of Britain’s tabloid press”, the broadcaster said.
It described the sit-down discussion for , as Harry’s first major interview since the conclusion of his court case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN).

The duke, 39, sued MGN for damages, claiming journalists at its publications were linked to methods including phone hacking, so-called “blagging” – gaining information by deception – and use of private investigators for unlawful activities.
In December, Mr Justice Fancourt ruled that phone hacking became “widespread and habitual” at MGN titles in the late 1990s and that Harry’s phone was hacked “to a modest extent” by MGN, awarding him £140,600 in damages.
ITV said: “Featuring Prince Harry’s first major interview since the conclusion of his court case with Mirror Group Newspapers, this documentary hears about his mission to continue his fight to expose the illegal tactics of Britain’s tabloid press and explores what those in charge at Fleet Street really knew as this scandal unfolded.”
It added: “ITV News’s Rebecca Barry meets high-profile celebrities including Hugh Grant, Charlotte Church and Paul Gascoigne as well as people catapulted into the public eye, whose lives were ripped apart by newspapers.”
Harry is also one of a group of high-profile people, including Sir Elton John and Baroness Lawrence of Clarendon, bringing legal action against the publisher of the Daily Mail over allegations it carried out or commissioned unlawful information-gathering.
Tabloids On Trial airs on ITV1 & ITVX at 9pm on Thursday July 25.
