    Best Jingle Bell Ball Moments... EVER! (2008 - 2015)

    As the festive season approaches it's the perfect time to look back on some of the best and most memorable moments from our previous JBB shows...

    1. Justin Bieber Live Jingle Bell Ball 2015

      1. We all remember where we were when Justin Bieber took his top off on-stage, right?!

      In between belting out the likes of 'Sorry' and 'What Do You Mean?', Biebs found the time to rip off his shirt and bounce around in all his glory. After the screaming crowd, our hearing's never been the same again. (Picture: PA Photos)

    2. Little Mix and Jason Derulo at the Jingle Bell Bal

      2. When we heard 'Secret Love Song' for the very first time with Little Mix AND Jason Derulo...

      Just try to tell us your eyes didn't get a little watery during this set. Perrie, Jesy, Jade and Leigh-Anne brought out a very special guest, Jason Derulo, and together they performed that belter for the first time. Great. Now we're emosh again. (Picture: Gobinder Jhitta)

    3. Nathan Sykes jingle bell ball 2015

      3. Nathan Sykes got us feeling festive in about two seconds flat when he sang 'White Christmas'!

      If you ever need a dose of Christmas, jump back to Nathan's #CapitalJBB performance, where he hopped up from the piano and made this Crimbo classic his own. It's pretty much tradition to listen to it in December now. (Picture: Gobinder Jhitta)

    4. Sigma Ella Henderson Live Jingle Bell Ball 2015

      4. Sigma had a HUGE DJ set... And an even BIGGER surprise, when Ella Henderson popped out on stage!

      If you want surprise acts, you don't get much better than Ella Henderson, who burst on to the stage to sing 'Glitterball' in front of The O2 Arena. (Picture: PA Photos)

    5. Calvin Harris Live Jingle Bell Ball 2015

      5. Can we all just take a second to appreciate ALL of Calvin Harris' huge set?! Yes. Yes we can.

      From huge fireworks to powerful strobe lights, the Scottish DJ got over 20,000 excited fans raving to his biggest tunes. This. This is how you close a #CapitalJBB, right? (Picture: PA Photos)

    6. Ellie Goulding and Dave Berry Interview

      6. Backstage, Ellie Goulding covered Justin Bieber... And SLAYED it! Obviously.

      We ALL know Ellie Goulding's got a hell of a set of pipes on her, so what else were we meant to do but to get her to a mean cover of Biebs' 'What Do You Mean?'? If they could collab now, that'd be great...

    7. Taylor Swift Live  Jingle Bell Ball 2014

      7. When Taylor Swift hit that high note AGAIN and AGAIN... and brought the house down back in 2014

      Taylor's #CapitalJBB closing set had EVERYTHING you would want to close out the weekend - anthems, amazing outfits... and BUCKETS of Tay Tay sass on hand! Picture: PA

    8. Sam Smith at the Jingle Bell Ball 2014

      8. The moment Sam Smith hit the stage.. having NO clue what an incredible year he had in store!

    9. Take That Jingle Bell Ball 2014

      9. Take That taking us ALL back to the nineties for a night in 2014 with their BIGGEST anthems
