Dua Lipa is preparing to launch her own ice cream range as she applies for a license to protect her name as a brand for marketing a range of frozen desserts on Sunday.
The singer, 29, who already has her own lifestyle and culture publishing venture called Service95, is still waiting for approval from the government’s Intellectual Property Office.
Her application covers the sale of ‘non-dairy ice cream, ice cream cones, dairy ice cream, ice cream desserts, ice cream cakes and ice cream drinks’, along with milkshakes and yoghurts.
The One Kiss songstress has previously revealed she doesn’t follow the crowd when it comes to ice cream and has her own unique flavour and toppings.
She told Greg James on BBC Radio 1 that she is not a fan of chocolate ice cream and instead ‘gets vanilla ice cream and I put olive oil on it, and sea salt.’

It comes as Dua shared a number of sizzling Instagram snaps on Sunday as she posed in a bikini during a lavish getaway for her 29th birthday.
The songstress showed off her amazing figure in a patterned bikini top which she teamed with a stylish white ruffled skirt as she posed for a bathroom mirror selfie.

Styling her long red tresses in a neat ponytail, Dua beamed for a close up photo in front of a picturesque infinity swimming pool overlooking the ocean.
One evening during her vacation, the Levitations star flashed her black underwear under a white and red sheer dress as she posed with two male pals.
Last week, Dua set pulses racing in a thong and sheer dress as she danced the night away in Ibiza with her boyfriend Callum Turner to mark her 29th birthday.
The beauty, who recently went Instagram official with Callum, 34, flashed her toned abs in the same skimpy black two-piece as she shared sizzling snaps to Instagram.
Celebrating the start to her final year in her 20s, Dua and Callum were seen dancing around the island with their arms above their heads.

For the joyous occasion, Dua enjoyed a cheeky tipple of champagne.
Adding to the extravagance, the red-haired beauty was gifted a three-teir cake which had a special decoration which read: ‘Happy Birthday Dua’.
Meanwhile, Callum opted for a more casual look for the evening as he stepped out in a white T-shirt and black trousers.
Sharing the snaps to her social media, Dua penned: ‘Annual pilgrimage to the island to celebrate my next lap around the sun.’
Dua and Callum were first linked at the London Masters Of The Air premiere in January when they were spotted cosying up at the afterparty, but last month was the first time either had acknowledged their relationship on social media.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, she said: ‘Dating, I think overall, is just a little confusing.’
‘It’s either through friends of friends or people you trust where you can meet new people, because (dating) is not really so straightforward when you are, I guess, a public person.’
In early January, their relationship was confirmed when they were spotted slow dancing with one another after heading out for a date night.
The couple, who spend a lot of time out together, are frequently spotted at post-award ceremony events.

Dua has had quite the amazing few years after she raked in an eye-watering £1million per week last year after a string of festival performances, a film appearance and merchandise sales
She couldn’t contain her smile as she waved the balloons around and moved her hips from side to side in a short clip.
The singer wrote: ’29!!!! And life just keeps getting better! thank you for all the birthday wishes!! I love you guys xxx’.
Dua has had quite the amazing few years after she raked in an eye-watering £1million per week last year after a string of festival performances, a film appearance and merchandise sales.
The British star is on the way to becoming one of the UK’s richest celebrities, chasing the likes of Adele, Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran.
According to her account filings which ended in March 2023, Dua had a turnover of £51.6million at her company Radicial 22 Live LLP.
It revealed that after expenses, Dua was still left with an average of £59,000 per day after being left with £21.7m in the coffers.
And this year Dua was marked the 29th richest person in the UK with a net worth of £90million, according to the Sunday Times rich list.
Dua, who is the head of nine private firms, is set for another bumper year following the success of her third album, Radical Optimism, which was released in May.
The record has so far produced three Top Ten songs: Houdini, Training Season and Illusion, which she performed during her headline Glastonbury show.
Following the success of her Glasto performance, Dua announced two shows at Wembley Stadium, which sold out within a day.
Dua has also performed at NOS Alive in Portugal, Open’er in Poland and Mad Cool festival in Spain.
She is now enjoying a break to spend time with her friends, family and boyfriend Callum Turner, 34, following a busy few months.
Dua is set to hit the road again in November and December to tour in Asia before returning home to the UK.
Late last year it was reported that Dua is set to become the wealthiest British female popstar after parting ways with her management company. The hitmaker isn’t just a master of pop tunes, off the stage she bought the rights to her publishing catalogue and made a new business move.
The star decided to begin working with her businessman dad, Dukagjin, known as Dugi, and could be on track to ‘become a billionaire’.
The pair set up her company, Radical 22 Publishing Limited, to help manage all her commercial assets just days after she announced she had cut all ties with her former management company TaP.
A source told The Sun: ‘Dua wants to take back control of her career and Dugi is very hands-on.

‘He felt like she was giving away too high a percentage of her earnings, and after becoming her manager he felt the next logical step was to come in as an official business partner.’
While a few in the industry are comparing her and her father’s relationship to that between Taylor Swift and music mogul Scooter Braun, the source assured that although firm, Dugi will prioritise his daughter’s best interests.
Discussing Dua’s new strategy to ensure she possesses ownership of her songs, the source explained: ‘Essentially, the move also has echoes of Taylor Swift — a huge female pop star rewriting the narrative and making money on her own terms.
‘By the time she’s 40, Dua could be a billionaire.’
In the same week, Dua was mentioned alongside Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran as the stars who collectively contributed to UK music export raking in £4billion in 2022.
And while her previous deal with TaP saw her giving away around 20 per cent of her income, now with the help of her father she hopes she will be able to retain everything she earns.
Last week it was revealed that TaP have sold the rights back to the artists as they wished Dua well for the future.
The singer joined TaP when she was originally signed by executive Ben Mawson in 2013 after he spotted her in a London cocktail bar.
She parted ways with the firm in February 2022 and has since been managed by her father.
