Following the announcement that the 'Dizzy' singer would be joining us in Birmingham, he joined Tom Green to chat about what he gets up to backstage before he performs and what the vibe is like at Hits Radio Live.

Telling Tom why he really loves these events, Olly explained: "(It's) Hits only! I mean these things are always a lot of fun, you see so many different artists. The vibe backstage is always really fun, you're seeing a lot of people that you maybe bumped into a few times before, and then, yeah, you get to see everyone's hits.

"So it's a very good value, I've got to say, because you're seeing everyone come and do their big songs and like, there's a lot of them!"

And with a line-up that includes acts like Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Sigala, Joel Corry, Ella Henderson, Tom Walker and Sugababes, along with Olly of course, we can't really argue!

Olly then when on to reveal that he doesn't have many things as part of this pre-show ritual, although he's quite superstitious about one thing in particular.

"My only thing I do before I go on stage is I just hug everyone that I'm gonna go on stage with," Olly revealed. "That's kind of like my only ritual and I feel like if I don't do that, something terrible will happen."
