Singer Eliza Dolittle - who took to the same stage earlier in the day - tweeted: "Watching the one and only Lionel Richie tonight! Endless Love was magic, so was every other 367 of his hits! (sic)"

Before Lionel, Jennifer Lopez had stormed the stage, wearing a long-sleeved leotard complete with a fringed belt and lace-up heels. She belted out selections from her back catalogue including 'Love Don't Cost A Thing', 'On The Floor' and 'Jenny From The Block'.
