She's normally seen treading the boards.

But Katherine Jenkins traded her standard performance space for the stern of a traditional Cambridge punt on Sunday at day four of Latitude Festival 2017 in Suffolk.

The opera singer, 37, looked angelic as she sailed along, with a gondolier sailing the boat with a long oar, allowing her to concentrate on her performance.

Katherine looked summery and demure in a floor-length gown in a pale green shade with a split down the centre of the chest.

The skirt of the ensemble puffed below the waist and featured a cascading floral detail, in pinks, reds and yellows.

The dress - which was seasonally in-sync with the summertime festival - featured a pleated design to it.

The welsh beauty wore her blonde locks in light waves, and tied them back, adding white baby's breath flowers for extra delicacy.

She kept her make-up simple and fresh with just a dusting of eye-shadow as she took to the water and let her soothing vocals glide across the waves.

She completed her look with some silver hooped earrings.

The star waved at those on the river banks and looked delighted to be performing at the annual music event.

Katherine has recently been announced as the newest addition to the Songs of Praise presenting line-up.

Ethereal: Katherine, who describes herself as a 'Church of Wales Christian', will make her debut on July 23, when she will explore the town of Hastings and listen to 'inspiring and uplifting stories of faith in the area'

Songs of Praise was originally launched as a six-week experiment, 56 years and more than 2,300 episodes ago. The first was broadcast from the Tabernacle Baptist Church, Cardiff.

The programme has since been broadcast from the Sydney Opera House, the Vatican and even Strangeways prison in 1982. Famous faces to appear include Desmond Tutu, Andrew Lloyd Webber and members of the Royal Family.

Katherine, who describes herself as a 'Church of Wales Christian', will make her debut on July 23, when she will explore the town of Hastings and listen to 'inspiring and uplifting stories of faith in the area'.

The BBC said that the programme will 'continue to work with its full roster of well-loved hosts', including Pam Rhodes (left), Aled Jones (centre) and Diane-Louise Jordan (right)
