She started off strong but then appeared to forget the lyrics early on and then looked over to her band for support. Natasha made an awkward face and began singing "ba ba ba" before she quickly pulled it together and carried on with the chorus. Despite the slip-up, Natasha performed some a number of her other huge tracks including Unwritten. The songstress looked sensational in a lace see-through bodysuit and a black longline jacket. A string of famous musicians will also take to the stage over the next few days. Tom Grennan, Katy B, Biffy Clyro, Nia Archives, The Wombats and a host of famous faces have joined the line-up for BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend 2025, kicking off the three-day music spectacular. The British artist now lives in America with her husband Matt Robinson, 46, and their son Solomon, seven. In 2023, The Sun exclusively told how the These Words songstress would return to her music roots after splitting with her record label. She was the first to tell us: "I am always writing and working on new music. "I asked to get out of my label deal because I felt pressure to write a certain type of music and I want to write music for the creativity and the fun. I am returning to my original love of music. Natasha Bedingfield looks incredible as she flashes rock-hard abs in sheer dress on red carpet "You can view making music in so many ways. "As a product, as content or as art. Being an artist is like being a chef. You love creating something special but then with success and demand, it can hurt your artistry or creativity. "I want my music to mean something and say something and not just write music to have a hit single." Singing siblings Meanwhile, fans recently realised that Natasha and popstar Daniel Bedingfield are related. The revelation came after a TikTok clip of Natasha went viral. She filmed herself in the back of a taxi asking the driver to "turn up" the music playing on the radio - which turned out to be her older brother Daniel's slushy song If You're Not The One. He is two years older than his popstar sibling. She told him: "This is my favourite song. Can you turn it up? That's my brother, that's my brother singing." The taxi driver appeared to ignore her, with Natasha telling the camera: "He can't hear, he's on his phone. If only he knew." He found fame in 2001 with his hit Gotta Get Thru This - and is soon set to make a music comeback. He fronted a new tour back in April, 20 years after his hit tracks and departure from fame following a horror accident.

EXCLUSIVE The Traitors star set to host BBC Radio One's Early Breakfast show amid presenter shake-up
The third season of The Traitors UK may have ended a while ago, but one of its most memorable players has landed herself a presenting role on BBC Radio One as the station has another shake-up. Minah Shannon, who quickly became a fan favourite on the show before being banished just days before the final, is set to join BBC Radio One to take over the Friday Early Breakfast slot on a monthly rotation. From Friday May 2, the call centre manager, 29, will co-host the show alongside Radio 1's Nat O'Leary from 5am - 7am throughout the month. Speaking on the new career news, Minah said: 'I am so excited to be presenting every Friday in May on Radio 1's Early Breakfast! I'm hoping to brighten up listeners morning's (or day's if you catch up on BBC Sounds). 'Getting to present alongside Nat O'Leary is going to be so much fun. We discovered we both attended the same university and used to hang out in all the same places, so it feels like it was meant to be! If we can give the lovely listeners a laugh, then mission accomplished!' As part of the run, the duo will present a special show live from Liverpool on Friday May 23, helping to kick off this year's Radio 1 Big Weekend 2025 celebrations and, in keeping with Minah's scouse roots. Nat added: 'I'm so excited to be joining Minah on Friday Early Breakfast! Minah's energy is electric so I know we're gonna cause some chaos and bring some fun to your Friday early mornings! Can't wait to wake up with you babes!' Taking on the slot in June will be rising radio talent Lauren Redfern. She said: 'Absolutely buzzing to be taking over the early morning breakfast slot every Friday in June! I've been loving presenting shows over on Radio 1 Anthems, but now they're letting me loose on your mornings too! I can't wait to share my mornings with you!' Radio One saw huge changes among its presenters in 2024, with Vick Hope and Katie Thistleton moving to Going Home with Jamie Laing. Jamie and the girls co-host Going Home, which airs daily between 3.30pm and 6pm, following Jordan North's departure. Radio DJ Jordan replaced Roman Kemp on Capital Breakfast and officially started in April 2024 alongside Chris Stark and Sian Welby. Meanwhile, Matt Edmondson and Mollie King, who previously presented Matt and Mollie on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons, moved to the weekday afternoon show. The pair have hosted Weekend Breakfast together since 2018 and from July 2024 took on the 1pm to 4pm slot on Monday to Thursday. Minah's exciting news comes after she detailed the moment a very A-list pop star reached out to her after her stint on the BBC competition. Minah captured British hearts as the kindhearted Traitor on the third series of the hit programme and fans were left fuming when she was ultimately banished. And it wasn't just everyday viewers she won over as Minah revealed one of her celebrity heroes contacted her on social media after she was eliminated from the show. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Minah detailed the surreal moment Jade Thirlwall commented on her Instagram post, in which she reflected on her journey on the show. 'She didn't slide into my DMs, but she commented and re-shared one of my little reels on my story - Jade from Little Mix ,' she gushed. 'I'm a massive Little Mix fan! When I was banished and I did my post, Jade commented ''iconic'' and my whole life - I was like ''oh that's great!''' Minah, who was promoting her partnership with Nespresso and Oatly, admitted she hadn't considered she would come a celebrity after the show, only signing up because she was a passionate fan of The Traitors. She revealed her husband Liam was just as surprised and said she isn't sure she will ever get used to her newfound status and public profile. 'I wasn't expecting anything, I was a massive Traitors fan and that was the only reason I applied, I just wanted to geek out at the fact that I'm on the show,' she said. 'It just blew up and it was more than what I ever expected or anticipated. But [Liam] just thinks it's the craziest thing and people that we love, whether it's musicians or people in the public eye, are messaging me. 'I'll message him straight away like ''oh my gosh!'' and I don't know if I'll ever get used to that.' However, her two-year-old daughter Luna has been keeping her grounded as Minah confessed she couldn't be less interested in her TV appearances or high-profile status. '[Luna] doesn't really get it, even I'll show her something that I've done online and she just doesn't care, she wants to listen to Cocomelon or watch a Disney film,' she shared. 'A few weeks back, when the show was on, I was watching Lisa and Alex on Lorraine and there was a clip of us at the round table and I said ''Luna look, it's mummy on the TV'' and she pointed and went ''there's Leanne!'' and I thought ''she doesn't even care that I'm on the telly!''' Minah's inspiration for going on the show was her family and she wanted to win the £120,000 prize pot so she could fund a honeymoon after she and Liam missed out on theirs amid the Covid pandemic. Though she didn't ultimately take home the money, the Liverpudlian fan favourite said she is still saving and hopes to have the honeymoon of her dreams in the next year. 'No, we haven't [planned our honeymoon] because I didn't win but it is something we are definitely going to have,' she said. 'Even doing this job with Nespresso, I can put that towards us having a very nice honeymoon. 'I don't know what the year is going to bring for us - I thought I'd do the show, it would be fun and I'd go back to work as normal, but it's just so happened that I've ended up doing some exciting stuff. 'But hopefully we'll have a honeymoon in the next 12 months.' Though she has found herself thrown into the limelight and has signed with a talent agency, Minah is not overly interested in appearing in any more reality TV shows. 'I haven't thought about anything else that I'd want to do,' she admitted. 'I'm a massive Traitors fan so I was like ''this is the most exciting thing ever''. I suppose I wouldn't rule out certain shows, but for now I'd probably say no [to appearing on them].' However, she gushed that she still has more 'exciting' projects planned for this year - as well as a reunion with all of her Traitors co-stars - including her bestie and winner Leanne Quigley. Minah revealed she would have loved Faithful Leanne to have been a Traitor alongside her, as well as their fellow bestie Dan Bird. 'I really wanted to pick Leanne [as a Traitor]. I feel like me and Leanne - I mean you don't know if we would have won, you never know, but we'd have had so much fun,' she said. 'She's probably the person I'm closest with in the show so we would have been very cheeky together as Traitors. Also, I feel like Dan would have made a very, very good Traitor because he's so composed.'
