Ms Yousafzai, who was shot by the Taliban while travelling home from school in northern Pakistan in 2012, was due to appear at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on August 7.

A spokesperson said: “Due an unforeseeable, last minute scheduling conflict of Malala, we must regrettably cancel her appearance.

“She hopes to see you at a future date.”
