Hannah Waddingham will sing the National Anthem at the British Grand Prix<\/p>\n
The ‘Ted Lasso’ actress admitted getting to sing ‘God Save the King’ at Silverstone ahead of the Formula 1 Qatar Airways British Grand Prix on 7 July is something she will never forget.<\/p>\n
She said in a statement: \u201cIt\u2019s the most enormous \u201cpinch-me\u201d moment to perform the National Anthem ahead of this year\u2019s race. I feel deeply privileged. <\/p>\n
“The atmosphere and excitement at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix last year was utterly electric and I can\u2019t wait to be a part of it again. I am immensely proud of my British roots and I will remember this honour all my life.”<\/p>\n
And the 49-year-old star pledged her support to British drivers Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Lando Norris.<\/p>\n
\nShe added: \u201cI\u2019ll of course be cheering on our British drivers – The mighty Lewis, George and Lando\u2026 C\u2019mon Chaps! Let\u2019s DO this!\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe British Grand Prix will take place amid a four-day festival at the home of British motorsport.<\/p>\n
\nKings of Leon will perform on Thursday 4 July, with Stormzy topping the bill the following evening.<\/p>\n
\nPete Tong presents Ibiza Classics with Jules Buckley and The Essential Orchestra will entertain crowds on the Saturday (06.07.24) before Rudimental close out proceedings on the final night.<\/p>\n
\nOther performers over the weekend include The Snuts, Self Esteem, Jordss, Ghetts, Anna De Ferran and Arielle Free. Tickets are on sale now.<\/p>\n
\nHannah recently joked she has been “31-year overnight success” and is astounded by the fact that she has had the chance to work on movies with stars including Tom Cruise and Ryan Gosling.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “I’m a 31-year overnight success – that’s a comedy in itself.<\/p>\n
\n“What has happened to me is ridiculous. It is lovely, but incredible. I am a firm believer in manifestation and I feel like I have been chucking things out there and someone has really been listening.”<\/p>\n
\nShe continued: “I finished ‘The Fall Guy’, got back to London, unpacked my cases, repacked a smaller case, flew to meet Tom Cruise. He met me on the tarmac and said: ‘Let me take your bag (off) you.’ It was mental. We flew in an Osprey (helicopter) over the sea and landed on a ship with 4,500 people waiting for us.<\/p>\n
\n“There have been so many pinch-me moments. All my dreams come true. But I know that I worked hard for this. For a long time, I had no life, so I don’t take any of this lightly.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
