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'.

Dannii Minougue reignites decades-old feud with Sharon Osbourne and Graham Norton who ‘ripped her to shreds' on TV
DANNII Minogue has opened up on the time she felt attacked by Graham Norton and Sharon Osbourne. The pop star, 53, described feeling the victim of a "pile on" when she Sharon appeared as a guest on The Graham Norton Show in 2007. 7 7 7 7 Dannii recently reignited her old feud with Sharon and blamed Graham and his production team for planning the comments in advance and springing them on her live on TV. Speaking on How to Fail with Elizabeth Day Danni said: "I think the difference was it wasn't being rude. There had to be production meetings to set up the things that they were doing on set in this show and these huge personalities that I looked up to and just loved what they had done." Dannii continued: "'I'd loved Sharon Osbourne on X Factor. I'd love her on the Osborne's. "I loved what Graham Norton was doing, and here were these people just tearing me to pieces. That show would never be made today." Dannii recalled how Graham made fun of her appearance saying she "looked bizarre" and also mocked her music career and Aussie accent. When Graham's fellow guest on the episode, Buffy star David Boreanaz, asked to see a photo of Dannii, Sharon stood up and pointed to her behind and said "look at this." The Sun contacted the BBC, and representatives for Graham and Sharon for comment. As former colleagues on the X-Factor, Dannii and Sharon have been involved in a long-running feud. At the time, their argument reportedly stemmed from Dannii's relationship with exec producer and head judge Simon Cowell. Dannii did not deny flirting with Simon, but she denied any relationship. Inside X Factor's fresh backlash x years after show axe as former host reveals she was sacked Danni previously confessed: "But that man could flirt with a book, a wall, anything." But Sharon couldn't stand to sit next to the Australian singer during X-Factor as she confessed to Piers Morgan 's Life Stories. The former music manager admitted: "I didn't hate her because hatred is very close to love and takes a lot of emotion and I don't have that time for her." She added: "She was like an insect, a mosquito that wouldn't go away." In her autobiography, Unbreakable, Sharon said that she found the time she spent together with Dannii as "an odious chore." Dannii eventually left the show in 2010, and there was clearly no love lost on her side of the argument either as she slammed Sharon in public as well. She said: "Sharon announced to anyone who would listen that I was impossible to work with, that I was only on The X Factor because of my looks – not any visible talent or contribution to the entertainment industry – and Simon employed me only because he wanted to sleep with me.' 7 7 7

Speaking on How to Fail with Elizabeth Day Danni said: 'I think the difference was it wasn't being rude. There had to be production meetings to set up the things that they were doing on set in this show and these huge personalities that I looked up to and just loved what they had done'.

The singer, who was a judge on the X Factor with Sharon at the time, described it as a 'pile on' and blamed Graham and the show's production crew for 'setting it up' Sharon said: 'She knows she's there for her looks, not her contributions to the music industry' before going on to claim that Dannii was only on the show because boss Simon Cowell 'wanted her'. When fellow guest and Buffy star David Boreanaz asked if he could see a photo of Dannii, the former Osbourne's star said 'look at this' and showed him her bottom. Danni said that she 'couldn't believe her eyes' when she watched the show in order to understand what all the fuss was about. MailOnline have contacted BBC, Sharon Osbourne and Graham Norton's reps for comment. Last year during her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother Sharon discussed her history with Dannii. The pair were judges on The X Factor together for only one season, but allegedly clashed over Dannii's relationship with Simon. Sharon quit the show the following year. David Potts asked Sharon whether it was 'awkward' working with Dannii on the show, and Louis Walsh added: 'Wouldn't we be standing there, Sharon, and nobody talking?'. Laughing, Sharon said: 'That was so f*****g tough,' and Louis admitted that there was a similarly bad atmosphere 'every season.' Sharon explained that during the live shows, as soon as the cameras started rolling, she would grab Dannii's hand and hold it in the air. 'I grabbed her hand and went like this, when the doors opened, and she's like trying to (let go) but I'd push her up,' she said. But Sharon appeared to have moved on from her feud with Dannii, saying: 'Yeah she's alright, she's alright.' Sharon and Dannii Minogue made no secret of their dislike for each other during their time together on X Factor as they embroiled in a public spat. Dannii revealed at the time that Sharon screamed abuse at her in her dressing room and reduced her to tears just minutes before she was due on stage. After Dannii joined the show, stories circulated in the press about how Sharon was utterly distraught that Dannii had been made a judge and feared it meant she herself was on the way out. Storming into Dannii's dressing room, she accused the Australian singer of speaking negatively about her to the press as she screamed: 'I don't need this! 'I'm a mother, for f***'s sake, do you think I need all this s*** in my life?'. Dannii revealed at the time that Sharon screamed abuse at her in her dressing room and reduced her to tears just minutes before she was due on stage In 2013, Sharon spoke out about the feud as she branded the time she spent with Dannii on the ITV1 talent show as 'unbearable', 'intolerable' and 'an odious chore'. In an extract of her new book Unbreakable, serialised in The Sun, she said: 'Outwardly, Dannii seemed all, "Ooh, I love kids and puppies". But in my opinion she was dark, very dark. What you saw was definitely not what you got.' After quitting The X Factor, Sharon told Piers Morgan on his Life Stories that she couldn't work with Dannii. She said: 'I didn't hate her because hatred is very close to love and takes a lot of emotion and I don't have that time for her. 'She was like an insect, a mosquito that wouldn't go away.'
