The emotional performance came hours before Little Mix were forced to cancel their matinee and evening show at the SSE arena in Belfast on Thursday after Jesy fell ill.

It is the second major cancellation to disappoint young music fans in the city in recent times.
Last October, One Direction called off a gig at the SSE at late notice after singer Liam Payne fell sick.
A statement from gig promoter Aikens said: 'We regret to announce that both Little Mix shows at the SSE Arena will not take place today due to Jesy being unwell and not able to perform.
Little Mix have been forced to cancel two gigs after Jesy Nelson became unwell.
The four-piece girl band were due to play a matinee and evening show at the SSE arena in Belfast on Thursday
'Please hold onto your tickets - we hope to be able to make a further announcement on possible rescheduling later today.'
In fact, the decision to postpone came so late that Little Mix had already been retweeting posts from excitable fans who had arrived at the venue.
Perrie Edwards had also been asking their fans to send in snaps of themselves as they waited to go inside the venue.
Airing their views: Fans took to Twitter to wish Jesy a speedy recovery on Twitter but others were not so impressed
She wrote: 'Hey, how ya doin Belfast? Can we get #getweirdtourbelfast trending? Send us your pics'.
While plenty of fans wished Jesy a speedy recovery on Twitter, some fans were less than impressed by the short notice given.
Meanwhile, the girls are currently also promoting their latest single, Secret Love Song along with US singer Jason Derulo.
