A venue erupted into screams and cheers as a heartthrob performer took to the stage.

Crowds at the Brighton Centre swooned over Olly Murs as he danced and sang hits from his latest album Marry Me.

The Troublemaker-singer performed to thousands of fans at the arena with his perfectly-timed choreography and cheeky smiles.

The gig began with a dramatic entrance, as the curtain parted to reveal a silhouetted Olly in the centre of the stage.

Olly, who rose to fame after coming second in the ITV reality competition The X Factor, made sure to use the whole stage - waving, and winking, to starstruck fans in the audience.

It wasn't long before the cheeky chappy had a packed Brighton Centre singing along with his catchy melodies and smooth moves.

Superfans right at the front of the stage were wearing wedding veils, taking the name of his latest album quite literally. In return, Olly tossed a bouquet into a shrieking and captivated crowd.

Olly, wearing an all-white jacket, trouser and vest combination, was joined by a talented team of backing singers and musicians - against the backdrop of a huge screen displaying Olly's face, among other graphics.

Murs's latest album, Marry me, was released in December last year and became an instant hit as it went to number one in the UK albums chart.

He has since performed this album to audiences in Glasgow, London and Bournemouth before Brighton during his 11-stop arena tour.

This gig was just days away from his landmark performance at the King's Coronation Concert in Windsor this Sunday, where he will be joined by international superstars Katy Perry, Take That and Paloma Faith.

Olly was supported by pop rock band Scouting for Girls, famed for their 2007 single She's So Lovely, which got the crowd singing along in preparation for the big show.
