Willow Smith is to play her first UK shows when she supports Justin Bieber on his UK arena tour in 2011.

The 10-year-old singer, who topped the official midweek chart with her track Whip My Hair this week, will play gigs in March.

Daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith is signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation label.

Her tour with 16-year-old Justin Bieber begins in Birmingham on 4 March next year.

The young starlet will then join the Canadian singer at concerts in Liverpool, Newcastle, London, Manchester, Sheffield and Nottingham.

If Willow Smith beats Black Eyed Peas to number one this weekend (12 December) on the official UK singles chart she'll be the youngest ever female solo single to have a number one in this country.
