The 'Hottest Girl In The World' stars thrilled the O2 Arena audience with all their biggest crowd-pleasing songs.

JLS kicked off the first day of the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball 2012 with a huge set featuring some of their biggest hits to date.

Aston Merrygold, JB Gill, Oritse Williams and Marvin Humes burst onto O2 Arena stage this evening (8th December) as they opened day one of this year's Capital FM event.

JLS began their crowd-pleasing set with a performance of their Vodafone Big Top 40 number one 'She Makes Me Wanna', showing off their trademark dance moves in the process and bringing the entire Arena to their feet.

The UK boy band stars got a particularly huge round of applause for a move perfect dance breakdown during the middle eight section of 'She Makes Me Wanna', before launching into 'Eyes Wide Shut' and getting the crowd to chant along "me without you" during the performance.

Oritse's rock star outfit was made up of a turned baseball cap, pair of loud trousers and leather jacket as he took to the stage with his bandmate Aston showing off his new shaved hair cut. 

Marvin Humes, wearing a stretchy pair of dark trousers, declared: "There's no party like a Capital FM party," drawing huge screams from the Jingle Bell Ball crowd, asking them to "make some noise".

"I want to say a big thank you to everyone who's come out here to support the Jingle Bell Ball and everyone at Capital FM for all the love and support," Marvin announced.

JLS then got everyone to dance along when they broke into their dance floor hit 'The Club Is Alive', before premiering a new song from their recently released album 'Evolution'.

"It feels good to be home!" JB declared, before adding: "How about we do something a little new? [From] the new album?"

The four-piece then performed a new song called 'Hold Me Down' before rounding off their specular set with a pyrotechnic filled performance of 'Hottest Girl In The World', the lead single from 'Evolution'.
