The mother-of-two spoke to the Courier-Mail earlier this month about the upcoming gig.

'I never really went to nightclubs when I was younger because I was always swimming,' she told the publication.

'So I thought maybe it’d be fun to not just go to the nightclub but be a DJ,' she explained.

Elsewhere in the chat Susie teased that fans can expect an unusual set list from her show.

'We’re going to try and make it a mixture of current stuff but also nostalgic stuff that people will remember,' she said.

'I’ve got my son who is going to send me what he says is really good songs that are going off on TikTok at the moment... This could fall really flat, but I’m not going to let that stop me.'
