Shakira has confirmed plans to play live on The Voice UK.

The singer will run through her single 'Can't Remember to Forget You', which was originally a Rihanna duet.

The slot will take place on March 29 and she said on Twitter of the news:

"I'm heading to the UK to perform #CantRememberToForgetYou on @BBCTheVoiceUK on March 29th. Can't wait to be back in London! Shak."

The performance will come just days after Shakira releases her new self-titled record on March 25.

Speaking previously about why she called the album after herself, the singer said: 

"In the end, what I realised is that throughout the course of creating this body of work, I learned a lot about myself. Though I didn’t realise it at the time, all the directions I began exploring in the initial phases of recording were helping to pave a path for me of rediscovery. In the end I realised that I will always be a little bit of everything and I don’t have to choose. I am sometimes extremely sensitive, sometimes upbeat, others dreamy and romantic, and even at times a little melodramatic. (Call it the Caribbean blood.) But always authentic and always sincere."

Shakira concluded: "Most importantly, I am enough. Imperfections and all. So what I am offering you now is just that. Shakira. Nothing more. A little bit of rock, a little bit of folk, a little reggae and naturally some dance - but as always, and above all, a lot of heart. I hope you enjoy."
