MTV Review: Olly Murs Lights Up London's O2 Arena

Oh what a night...

Olly Murs began his career as a contestant on the X Factor, so it was not surprisingly a huge deal for him to be performing four sold out nights at London's O2 arena.

The cheeky chappy bought all his charisma and charm to the stage for his stellar set on Tuesday night (May 5), as he had us laughing AND crying as he interacted with the audience and gave it his all.

Right from the start it was clear that just because Olly's all famous now, doesn't mean he's put away those dance moves we love him so much for.

Whether he was wiggling his bum in the air or channelling his inner Michael Jackson, there wasn't a single moment that Olly looked defeated after two nights on the trot at the venue.

With more recent hits such as Seasons and Right Place Right Time under his belt, the Essex lad took the time to showcase his new album as well as a brief look back at one or two of his older hits.

Between the constant innuendos, 'Olly, Olly, Olly' chants and crotch-grabbing, there was even time for an emotional rendition of his Paul Weller collaborative track Let Me In (which we have to admit hadus welling up big time!)

While it was his medley of hits that he couldn't quite squeeze intothe set which had us realise just how good his vocals are live, not to mention the uncanny cover of Uptown Funk he threw in for good measure!

It would seem we weren't the only ones to enjoy the gig on Tues, with One Direction's Niall Horan seemingly sat a few rows in front of us, cheering on his pal:
