If she is finalised, Perry will join international stars including Kanye West and Madonna at the gala. 

"Katy Perry is looking likely to be this year's blockbuster act. The ceremony needs a big US name and organisers are deep in negotiations with her team to get it over the line," the source told The Sun newspaper.

"The deal is not signed and sealed yet but everyone wants the same outcome," the source added.

Others who are already confirmed for this year's event include Emeli Sande, The 1975, Robbie Williams, Little Mix and Bruno Mars.
