Harry Styles to open up about his career in one-off BBC special

Stephanie Soteriou

Harry Styles’ glittering career has gone from strength to strength over the years, with the 23-year-old star first finding fame in One Direction aged 16 before going solo following the band’s hiatus.

Storming the charts with his debut solo album and gaining critical acclaim for his Hollywood debut in Christopher Nolan’s war epic Dunkirk, Harry has certainly proved that he is a force to be reckoned with.

And now the much-loved star is set to follow in Adele’s footsteps, with the BBC granting him a one-off TV special to open up about his incredible career with his close friend, and Radio 1 DJ, Nick Grimshaw.

The 60-minute programme will be filmed in front of a live studio audience in Manchester later this month, with the show set to broadcast on BBC One in November.

The special will include Harry performing tracks from his album as he chats to Nick about his life.

Speaking about the show, Grimmy said: “Harry is a great performer and full of so many wonderful stories about his extraordinary career, which he’ll be sharing with us, I can’t wait for this show.”

Editor of special events and formats at the BBC, Guy Freeman, added: “These shows are all about creating a world in which superstars like Harry feel incredibly comfortable and alongside their brilliant, live performances, can simply have fun and enjoy revealing more of themselves to viewers than is ever normally possible.”

Adele’s one-off special aired in 2015 and saw the singer interviewed by Graham Norton as well as take part in a series of hilarious sketches.

The show went on to be nominated for best entertainment programme at the Baftas, and we are willing to bet that Harry’s special will reach the same level of success.
