Whitney Houston is to tour the UK for the first time in over a decade.

The 'I Look to You' singer will play five arena dates starting next April in venues across England and Scotland.

Whitney said: "This is my first full tour since the 'My Love Is Your Love' tour in 1999 and I am so excited to be performing for my fans around the world after all this time.

"I am putting together a great show and cannot wait to perform the songs from my new album 'I Look to You' along with some of your favourites."
