16:14 - LET THE BALL COMMENCE! The Wanted have opened the show in spectacular style with 'All Time Low' - but there's no Nathan to be seen.
Following throat surgery earlier this year, it's been touch and go as to whether Nathan would be able to perform at the Ball. He told Capital FM earlier in the week that he was taking each day as it comes.
16:10 - You bring the energy, we'll bring the giant balloons...
