British soprano Sarah Brightman has been talking about how much she would like to sing in orbit when she visits the International Space Station (ISS) in September this year - but will it be possible?

Speaking to the media today about her upcoming mission, Ms Brightman said connecting with a choir or an orchestra on earth at some stage during her 10-day visit to the ISS, would be "a beautiful thing".

Experts told ITV News that her biggest challenge while singing in space will be keeping her hands still, as any movement could send her into a spin.
