Former One Direction star Harry Styles has announced he will serve as both host and musical guest on long-running US sketch show Saturday Night Live (SNL).

The announcement comes ahead of the release of the singer's highly anticipated fourth album, titled Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, which will be released next Friday.

The 32-year-old will appear on the 14 March episode of SNL marking his second time pulling "double duty" on the show, having previously done so in 2019.

Grammy-winner Styles shared a photo with his almost 50 million followers on Instagram on Monday, which saw his name in both the host and musical guest slot.

Referencing the city where the popular sketch show is filmed, the singer wrote in the caption: "I love NYC. March 14."

American broadcast company NBC has since confirmed the news.

Styles has hit the headlines recently after a string of announcements surrounding the release of his long-awaited, new record.

Styles fans recently enjoyed a sneak preview of his new album at a listening party in Dublin.

The special event in Fidelity Bar in Smithfield was one of a series being held across 40 cities around the world.

On Saturday, the singer will take the stage at Manchester’s Co-Op Live venue to perform at the Brit Awards.

Styles launched his solo career after he, and fellow One Direction members Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson, went on hiatus in 2016, almost a year after Zayn Malik left the group.

The Worcestershire-born star released his self-titled debut solo album in 2017, followed by Fine Line in 2019, and Harry’s House (2022).
