Fans Natalie Moore, 19 and her boyfriend Adam Johnson, also 19, from Staffordshire said: “She was very good and put on a good show. Lots of dancing, which was good.”

Speaking about the wait, the pair said: “It’s expected, isn’t it? She’s a diva so she’s allowed to. We didn’t mind the wait.”

Sasha Smith, 26, from Liverpool, said: “She was amazing. Gets better every time. Her new hair looked absolutely gorgeous.”

Also drawing huge crowds on the main stage were headliners Jessie J, who wowed the crowd with a monochrome two-piece, and The Script.

Two Door Cinema Club, Ocean Colour Scene and Paloma Faith were among the day’s other acts.

Meanwhile on the Arena stage, Travis lead singer Fran Healy was overwhelmed as fans sang along to classics such as Sing, Flowers In The Window and Turn.

“Thanks a lot guys. That’s beautiful,” he said.
