Ahead of her emergence, Dannii took to her social media to shared that she had never been to the festival before.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she said: 'I've heard a lot about Mighty Hoopla and I've never been here until now.
'Today is the day and so I might just go check it out okay ciao.'
The video then panned to Dannii walking out on stage before blowing kisses to a very excited-sounding crowd.
After being introduced, Dannii quipped: 'Okay I know who you are here for. She was in one of the biggest girl pop groups ever, give it up for Jade.'
Bounding on one leg to get the crowds excited, Dannii ran off stage to make way for the guest headliner.
Taking to the stage, Jade wowed her devoted fans as she channeled her inner Diana Ross and a wore a black and white cow-print jump suit.
She paired her flared one-piece, complete with tassel sleeves, with a matching cowboy hat and a silk red scarf.
Her country-inspired look was completed with a low-hanging white belt and platform heels.
Jade's outfit looked almost identical to one worn by Dianna in 1969 for an episode of NBC's G.I.T. (Getting It Together) on Broadway.
The main difference between the two saw Diana sport a gold scarf and wore leather gloves instead of an off-the-shoulder one-piece.
The show was also known as Diana Ross and The Supremes and The Temptations on Broadway as was produced by Motown Productions and saw the two groups performing primarily to Broadway showtunes.
Last weekend Jade dropped a major hint about a Little Mix reunion as she performed her 'first ever solo show' at BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend in Liverpool.
During her set on the New Music Stage, Jade hinted that there will be a future reunion for the girl band as she changed the lyrics to one of their songs.
The hitmaker belted out Little Mix's 2018 hit Wasabi and as she sang the famous line, 'I bet they gonna break up', Jade confirmed that the band are only on 'hiatus'.
She shouted: 'It's a hiatus!'
Elsewhere in the show, Jade performed an incredible medley of Little Mix songs including Shout Out To My Ex , Sweet Melody, Woman Like Me and Touch.
She went on to gush over the cheering crowd that she is 'grateful' for the band and admitted she 'wouldn't be here' without them.
The Angel Of My Dreams singer said: 'Guys do you remember I was in a girl band, oh gosh you're still going, I just want to say I love the Little Mix girls with all my heart.
'I'm so so grateful to the girls. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here today on my own. So shout out Little Mix!'
Before discussing her former band, Jade kicked off her show by revealing she wanted it to be 'extra special' as it was her first solo gig.
She told the crowd: 'Liverpool how we feeling tonight, guys I forgot what this feels like its been so long.
'This is my first ever solo show. I promise I wouldn't want to be anywhere else or with anyone else tonight, wow this is incredible.
'OK because it is my first show I want it to be extra special and a night I'll never forget'.

Sleep problem that affects 10million could trigger deadliest cancer - first major study to spot the link
Severe snorers may be at higher risk of one of Britain's deadliest cancer, shock new research has suggested. It is already known that patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which often causes problem snoring, may be more likely to develop cancer. Now, one of the world's first trials exploring the condition and lung cancer specifically has found a 'significant' link between the two. US researchers, who assessed the health records of more than 2.4million adults, said they cannot be sure exactly why the common sleep disorder raises this risk. But they believe it may be due to the lack of oxygen people get during the night - or lifestyle factors including smoking and even obesity. Presenting the findings at the American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago, scientists urged policymakers to consider screening those with the condition for the disease and tackle sleep apnea early, soon after a diagnosis. OSA, which impacts nearly a billion people worldwide, causes the walls of the throat to relax and narrow or close for a few seconds during sleep. This triggers breathing pauses and loud snoring. Up to 3.9 million people in the UK are estimated to have moderate or severe OSA, although it is considered to be under-diagnosed affecting up to 10million. Not all snorers have sleep apnoea, but the two often go hand in hand, and the louder the snoring, the greater the chances of having it. In the study, researchers at Marshall University in West Virginia, tracked lung cancer diagnoses separating those diagnosed with OSA and those without. After accounting for factors that could skew the results, such as age and other diagnosed health conditions, they found OSA patients were 1.21 times more likely to develop lung cancer compared to those without OSA. Dr Jowan Al-Nusair, study co-author and physician at Marshall University told MailOnline it was 'one of the first statistically significant studies' to prove a link between the condition and lung cancer. 'While further studies are definitely now needed to investigate just how the significant the link truly is, this suggests OSA may be a preventable risk factor for lung cancer. 'We should be more closely monitoring patients with OSA. Patients would definitely benefit from screening and early intervention to combat OSA. 'Additional studies are essential to understand exactly why OSA may increase this risk. 'We really hope this will pave the way for future research and testing.' Lung cancer strikes around 50,000 people in the UK and 230,000 in the US every year. It is the world's biggest cancer killer. It is notoriously difficult to diagnose and often appears later when it's harder to treat. Figures show it kills four out of five patients within five years. Fewer than 10 per cent of people survive their disease for a decade or more. Despite the progress, a disparity among sexes is emerging, with women between the ages of 35 and 54 being diagnosed with lung cancer at higher rates than men in that same age group. Science has long established that smoking definitively causes lung cancer and is the primary risk factor for the disease. But lung cancer rates, which have been dropping for decades as the world weans off tobacco, are also now rising in young, otherwise healthy people who've never smoked. Experts told MailOnline the disease should not be viewed as 'an old person's disease' — as it was previously seen. Speaking at ASCO it was also suggested diet, changes in exercise habits and changes in work patterns could play a part in this increased risk. It comes as a study by The Sleep Charity last year found nine in ten people experience some sort of sleep problem. Poor sleep has been linked to a number of health problems, including cancer, stroke and infertility. Experts have long advised that waking up during the night does not necessarily mean you have insomnia, which figures suggest affects up to 14million Brits. Still, sleep deprivation takes its own toll, from irritability and reduced focus in the short term, to an increased risk of obesity, heart disease and diabetes.

To complete the challenge, Sam is expected to run a marathon for five days and cycle in between, ensuring the ball arrives on June 6, just in time for kickoff on Sunday, June 15.

I've got Game Ready on, which is like a bucket ice machine. 'We've completed a marathon. It was going great until my calf popped. Don't really know what that means but something has happened.

And while Sam appeared in happy spirits, his sister Louise took to her Instagram Stories looking in distress to give her fans an update.

'I have been following so closely to the Soccer Aid channel, the Instagram, the Instagram Stories, Hits Radio this morning all covering my brother doing his run from here to Manchester. 'And I am literally on the cusp of having a breakdown every time I see stuff. I saw a video of him limping really badly after the first marathon and he has now got to get on a bike and do a really really really long cycle and I am so worried his legs are just going to give in'. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline earlier in the day, Sam opened up about what he believes will be the biggest challenge he'll face over the next five days. But after running the first marathon Sam has revealed that he has 'popped his calf' and has now been strapped into a medical table with the hope to recover in time for his session on the bike He said: 'The hard part of this challenge is gonna be the fear of not completing it. 'That that will, is and will always be the hardest thing in my head is the fear of injury and not being able to play it. 'I just, I have to be able to get of course I finish line. 'And like, you've seen how many people are here. Just letting people down is my biggest weakness, so that is terrifying to me.' Elsewhere, Sam gave an update on his relationship with Samie Elishi as he kicked off the first day of his intense Soccer Aid challenge. While his sister Louise and her partner Ryan Libbey were present at the starting line to show their support, Samie was notably absent. Speaking just moments ahead of the challenge, Sam revealed that several close friends, including best mate Jamie Laing, have remained tight-lipped about whether they'll join him along the way. However, he did confirm whether or not Samie, who he has been dating since April, will be making an appearance. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Sam said: 'Throughout the experience, I hope there'll be a few people.' When asked directly if Samie would be making an appearance, he responded: 'I feel like... this is so much more than who I'm dating or hooking up with. 'And I feel like it would take away from what it is going on. You know what I mean? 'You know, If I had a wife or something like, like a girlfriend of years it might be a different. 'I just think that I don't want to do anything that will take away from this challenge and Unicef - the spotlight needs to be on them. 'Like, I'm literally a vehicle. That's how I'm seeing it. I'm just a thing that is running to try and make money, so I want to keep it that way.'
