The singer, dressed in a black trilby and red-and-white checked shirt, gave a quick pirouette to finish off his opening number.
"O2 How are you guys tonight?" Olly said. "It's amazing to be here, thank you Capital!
"I've just motorbiked across London to get here. Crazy. Let's liven this up!"

"I've warmed you up and now I'm gonna slow it down for all you lovely ladies," Olly told the crowd.
A performance of new single 'Dance With Me Tonight' got the audience dancing along with the former The X Factor star, before Olly introduced a couple of special guests ready for his final song of the night.
