Olly Murs was flooded with support from fans as he admitted to 'balling his eyes out' after his National Television Awards performance.

The singer took to the stage at the star-studded ceremony on Wednesday night (September 11). The biggest names on the small screen were out in force for the annual glitzy event which took place at London's O2 Arena and aired live on ITV as they hit the red carpet before finding out who was taking home silverware in the fifteen fan-voted categories.

Some of the big winners on the night included I'm A Celebrity, Emmerdale, Strictly Come Dancing, Ant and Dec and Davina McCall, who was in tears as she was given the Special Recognition gong.

And it appeared to prompt quite the emotional reaction for the star, who shot to fame on The X Factor in 2009, as he revealed on X, formerly known as Twitter, afterwards: "Honestly that performance was for you the fans tonight, the people at home who voted all them years ago! "You changed my life, I’ll never forget it and I’ve literally bawled my eyes out backstage but thanks for always supporting and being the best fans." His loyal following were then quick to respond. @EllaJane____ said: "Awww you were great Olly." @emcheseldinex commented: "The tears started as soon as you started.
