A source said: 'Sabrina is a massive Duran Duran fan and reached out to them herself to see if they'd come on board.
'It was kept a huge secret and people only found out when they came to rehearsals on Sunday morning.'
Sabrina, left, pulled a massive celebrity crowd for her second night of the event, with Spice Girls star Emma Bunton, models Cara and Poppy Delevigne and singer Fred Again all spotted dancing like mad in the crowd.
I'm told that all the stops were pulled out for Sabrina backstage, with a private dining room erected so she could eat in peace before going out on stage.

HE was the poster boy for bad behaviour in the Nineties but on the Oasis reunion tour
I'm told he has turned his back on booze and fags in favour of water and early nights to keep his voice in check for his shows with brother Noel, with Liam.

And given how good he sounded during the band's first night at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Liam's virtuous new lifestyle is clearly working a treat.
My tour insider explained: 'Liam arrives 45 minutes before he goes on stage and leaves immediately afterwards.
'At Cardiff he had a car driven into the stadium to take him back to his hotel immediately. Liam is being a total professional and is laser-focused on giving Oasis fans the best show he can.
'It's incredible to see how well behaved he is being. It's like he's properly grown up now.'

The brothers will kick off their run of five shows at Manchester's Heaton Park on Friday night.
And while Liam might be teetotal, I don't think the hundreds of thousands of fans who are due to see them perform will be doing the same.
I'll certainly be having a skinful when I see the lads at Wembley later this month. I'll have one for you, Liam.

'I have never had anything like that.
'And that reignited the importance of therapy to me because I had just kind of fallen off for so long.
'And then suddenly I had this free resource of incredible therapists, and I utilised the crap out of that.
'I was going, you know, once a week, once every other week, whenever I could.

'And it was even during the off time, we also still had access to this resource.
'So honestly, that was one of the coolest things that has ever happened on tour.

Of Olivia, Daisy added: 'She literally is the dreamiest boss of all time.
