Nigella Lawson will be reading the UK's results on this year's Eurovision
It may have been recently revealed that the 55-year-old's US show The Taste had been axed, but it looks like the work is still pouring in for Nigella.
The TV cook - known for her sultry voice - will be reading out the voting results for the UK during the Eurovision final on Saturday night.
Nigella confirmed the news in three different languages - English, French and German.
She posted on Twitter: "Yes, it's true. Oui, c'est vrai. Ja, das ist wahr."
Her response comes after a fan asked amid rumours she'd be taking part: "Saw some tweets from Eurovision Land. Are you reading the results for the UK next Saturday. Please confirm. Thanks."

Electro Velvet will be representing the UK in this year's Eurovision
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the much-loved musical competition and will see Australia take part for the first time.
The UK will be represented by pop duo Electro Velvet, made up of Alex Larke and Bianca Nicholas, who will perform the song Still In Love With You.
Despite Nigella's Eurovision job, it was recently revealed that she hadn't gone down quite as well with the US audience as she'd hoped.
The Brit appeared alongside chefs Anthony Bourdain, Ludo Lefebvre and Marcus Samuelsson in The Taste, but it failed to bring in the viewing figures.
Nigella's US TV show has been cancelled by ABC
It comes after Channel 4 axed the UK version of The Taste last year after just one series.
A source told the Daily Mirror earlier this month: "Bosses just couldn’t believe how quickly it lost viewers. The only option they had was to make it toast.
"America has not been the kindest of places for Nigella."
You can catch Nigella on the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final, held on Saturday May 23 in Vienna. The show will be broadcast in the UK on BBC One and BBC Radio 2 from 8pm.
