We've been getting some of the biggest names around to perform exclusively for us, and after Ella Henderson blew us away with her amazing talent singing Wham!'s 'Last Christmas', it was Jess Glynne's turn to take to the stage.

To get us in the festive spirit, Jess performed her new Christmas song, 'This Christmas', which was originally sung by Donny Hathaway. Jess' version of the song was released exclusively on Amazon Music and she really showed off her vocals in this performance.

Following Jess' new song, she also performed 'Thursday' which was penned by Ed Sheeran along with Jess and Steve Mac. The song reached Number 3 in the UK back in October 2018.
