Jessie J played one of her biggest and most emotional gigs to date as she closed day two of Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball.
The 'Do It Like A Dude' singer made an attention grabbing entrance as she crawled to her feet dressed in a gold glittery jump suit complete with a huge foil accessories.
Jessie was also joined by special guests James Morrison and Wretch 32 in what was a triumphant night for the singer.
The day began with an energetic performance from the JLS boys who raced through a collection of their best hits.
During the set there were pyrotechnics, backflips and a declaration from Aston that the Jingle Bell Ball draws in the "sexiest" crowds.
Next up was The Saturdays who also brought out the big tunes for the grand occasion.
Making their fourth appearance at the Jingle Bell Ball, the girls thanked everyone at Capital FM for their support before stand out performances of tracks 'Higher', 'Forever Is Over' and 'Ego'.
Professor Green made a surprise appearance at the O2 Arena next as he joined Emeli Sande for a stirring duet of their number one single 'Read All About It'.

Wretch 32 was next to take to the stage and a fantastic debut at the event was cemented by imposing performances of hit singles 'Don't Go' and 'Unorthodox'.
He was also joined on stage by Ed Sheeran for a rendition of 'Hush Little Baby' in what was one of the highlights of the day.
