Bridesmaid: Pixie Lott looked beautiful on Saturday as the maid of honour for her sister's wedding

Plans: Pixie was seen talking to the photographer no doubt discussing what to take pictures of next

Familiar face: TOWIE star Tom Pearce, who is close friends with Pixie, attended the wedding

‘I've been made maid of honour I've been told, which is quite a task because I'm not the most organised of people. I've got to organise the hen night  and stuff so I'll get a bit of help off people like my mum and stuff. It's going to be so much fun, I can't wait just to have a wedding in the close family. It's going to be fun.’
But Pixie also revealed that she is not planning to follow her sister’s example by getting hitched any time soon.
She added: ‘I think it's too early yet. I still feel quite young to do that kind of stuff. But definitely at the moment all the focus is on my sister and her wedding. They're just starting to get a house together and I can't wait for her to have babies.'

The Duke of Cambridge has lifted the lid on his first days of fatherhood as he made his first public appearance since the birth of Prince George at a charity polo match admitting he would be picking up nappies on his way home.
William took a break from parenting duties to play in the Audi Polo Challenge at Coworth Park, Ascot, Berkshire alongside brother Harry today. 
The 31-year-old, who scored the winning goal for his team, was presented with a mini polo stick for Prince George by Audi UK director Martin Sander after the match.

William wore a polo jersey with the logos of SkillForce and the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, of which he is patron and president respectively

William jokingly asked if it was nappies, quipping: 'I've got to pick some up on my way home.'
The royal admitted it was 'good to get out of the house' for an afternoon.
Meeting guests afterwards, he added: 'I've got to make sure I'm not too late back.'
Of his performance on the pitch, William admitted: 'I was in baby mode out there, thinking about nappies, I wasn't really in the zone.'

And asked about son George, who was born on July 22, he said: 'He likes to move around a lot, he wriggles a lot, he keeps on our toes.'
The Audi Polo Challenge is held each year and this year was in aid of charities SkillForce and The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, of which William is patron and president respectively.
Kate attended last year's match, along with the couple's puppy Lupo, to support William and Harry, but there was no sign of her today.

His next official public engagement will be to visit the Anglesey Show later this month.
An announcement on his future plans is expected within the next fee months.
William and Harry, 28, who yesterday joked about how his nephew's birth had taken the pressure off him to settle down, both played on the four-man Audi Quattro team as they took on the opposition Audi Ultra team.
The royals were watched by guests including former England rugby player Matt Dawson.

Peter Cross, chief executive of SkillForce, an education charity which helps hard-to-reach children, who was in the crowd, said: 'This is fantastic. It is the third time that Audi have had SkillForce as one of the sponsored charities for the royal polo and we are really grateful for that.
'It's fantastic that the Duke of Cambridge's first public outing since the birth of his child is playing polo and SkillForce is a beneficiary of that.
'It's interesting that his last public engagement before his wedding was with SkillForce as well.
'It is a very close relationship, he is a wonderful royal patrol and he takes a very close interest.
Cally Palmer, chief executive of the Royal Marsden Hospital and Cancer Charity, said: 'The wonderful thing is the duke is a really hands-on presence at the hospital, he comes and visits, he takes a particular interest in the children that we treat at the Royal Marsden.
'The duke and duchess have been enormously generous with their support for us.'
'I am so happy that they have their son now and their support, from both of them, is amazing.'
She said the huge attention drawn by the William and Kate and their son meant the hospital would also be able to draw more attention to its work to find better ways to treat and diagnose patients.
Today's event was the 11th annual Audi Polo Challenge - its first included both William and Harry as well as their father the Prince of Wales.

'That decision was made for me as a nine- year-old': Why Emma Watson had to reconsider acting career after Harry Potter ended

When the Harry Potter franchise finally finished filming, Emma Watson decided to take time out to consider whether she wanted to pursue an acting career as an adult.
Having been cast as Hermione Granger in the fantasy films when she was just nine, Emma has grown up on screen.
However, when the films finally ended, she decided to take careful consideration whether she wanted acting to be her career as an adult.

Growing up: Emma Watson, pictured in May 2013, nearly quit acting

After much soul-searching, the English star found she had the passion to continue and has since filmed The Perks Of Being A Wallflower and Bling Ring.
She tells the new issue of EW magazine: 'I wanted to make a conscious adult decision that this was what I wanted to pursue, because that decision was made for me as a nine-year-old. I had no idea what I wanted. I had no idea who I was really.
'So I wanted to step away and make sure this is what I wanted to pour my life and my energy and my blood, sweat, and tears into.'

Adult role: Emma as Nicki in The Bling Ring

Emma admitted critics questioning whether she and her co-star Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint could sustain adult careers dented her confidence in her abilities.
She explained: 'For a while I kind of bought into the hype of, "Will they ever be able to play anything else?"
'It gave me a sense of paralysis and stage fright for a while. And then a professor told me that they didn’t think I should act, either.

Time out: Emma in her last time as Hermione in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

'So I was really grappling with it and wasn’t feeling good about it. And then, I don’t know … it got so bad and people had put me in a box so much that it started p**sing me off. I suddenly wanted to prove them wrong. It gave me fuel, in a way. I’m not sure why that shift happened.'
Meanwhile, Emma recently admitted she has been mistaken for Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence.
She tweeted: ''Are you the Hungry Games chick?' #classic #also-noooo!
'HUNGER GAMES..... : ) !'

Child star: A young Emma in the first film Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone
