14 more high-energy pictures of Olly Murs wowing the crowds at Blackpool Illuminations switch on

What a night!

Olly Murs brought some real X Factor sparkle to the annual Blackpool Illuminations switch on with a high energy set of some of the Troublemaker singer’s biggest hits.

Before flicking the switch on the million lights, he wowed the crowds with a full 70-minute concert, following in the footsteps of some of the country’s biggest stars who’ve performed at the famous event.

The lucky 24,000-strong crowd were all successful entrants from a highly competitive ballot which received over 150,000 ticket requests.

Our photographer Neil Cross was there to capture the highlights.
