Gallery: Olly Murs dazzles the crowd at Llangollen Pavilion
It was a joy to watch, and remembering Olly's first audition for UK talent show The X Factor - I'm not sure where the 15-years have gone!
After chatting to one of Britain's biggest and best-loved stars a couple of months ago, I knew Olly was excited to visit the festival, and Llangollen, for the first time, following in the footsteps of dear friend and colleague Tom Jones after last year.
And it certainly was the 90-minutes of pure hits that he promised, with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia and good vibes all round.
The cheeky 41-year-old got everyone moving with performances of Army of Two, Please Don't Let Me Go, Marry Me, Dear Darlin', Heat Skips a Beat, Wrapped Up and Save Me - his brand new single.
And of course, Olly couldn't leave the stage without the favourite get-up-and-move tune, Dance With Me Tonight. The evening truly ended on a high and we loved every second.
Earlier in the evening, crowds were treated to multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Lemar and rising boyband Absnt Mind who opened the show.
Both acts were beyond impressive, generated a real buzz and enthusiasm for the night ahead.
TK Maxx presents Live at Llangollen Pavilion concludes on Saturday with final headliners The Human League.

Corrie star and X Factor husband 'headed for divorce' two years after marrying
Coronation Street actress Georgia May Foote is said to be preparing to divorce her husband, X Factor star Kris Evans, just two years after the pair married one another A Coronation Street actress is said to be preparing to divorce her X Factor star husband. Georgia May Foote, who found fame playing Katy Armstrong on the long running ITV soap between 2010 and 2015 had never been one to shy away from sharing an insight into her life. Now, the 34-year-old is said to be looking towards her future as a single woman following the alleged breakdown of her marriage. Bury-born Georgia and Kris Evans, who found fame on The X Factor, before appearing on Britain's Got Talent are now said to be living separate lives, just two years after they tied the knot. They married in 2023 following a two-year-long engagement, but Georgia, who also appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, has now wiped the singer and music producer from her social media page, including their wedding snaps. However, the images are still available on Kris' Instagram account. Elsewhere, he still has their engagement announcement, which he shared on December 31, 2021, on his page. But a source has claimed the marriage is over and they're heading towards a divorce. Speaking to The Sun, a source said: "Georgia's marriage to Kris seems to be over. It's on the rocks. She's looking to the future and is surrounded by friends and her family." Meanwhile, Georgia's wedding ring has been noticeably absent in social media posts after she enjoyed a trip to a spa with a friend. Captioning her post, Georgia said: "A day of pure gorgeousness with my bestest friend in the whole world." At the time of her log cabin wedding, Georgia said on social media: "I am about to marry my best friend. The person who makes me a better person. Didn't think I would find someone who would love me for me but I did it. "Thanks to all my people who showed up for me this weekend. I had a ball, and I'm forever grateful to you all for loving me for me too. Here is to the last month of being a Foote." The couple became engaged while holidaying in Gran Canaria, with the actress showcasing her huge ring to her social media followers. She wrote: "30/12/2021. Mrs Evans to be. Of course I am still crying. "@krisevansmusic I love you beyond words and I am honoured you have chosen me," and geo-tagged her location as "Clound Nine." Kris, isn't the first famous person that Georgia has dated. She previously dated her Strictly partner, Giovanni Pernice, after they met on the BBC show in 2015 where they finished as runners-up. However, they split a year later and issued a joint statement on social media. The former couple said": "It is with great sadness we have decided to split up. There is nobody else involved. It was not an easy decision to make, but sometimes you realise that it is better to be friends and this is one of those times. "We both have very busy work schedules for the rest of the year and so we are both going to focus on our upcoming work projects — and we wish each other well for the future." The Mirror has approached both Georgia and Kris' spokespeople for comment.
