Cheryl was dressed in a leopard print bra-let and a brightly coloured pair of pantaloons and a matching waistcoat.

She finished off her look with glittering cuffs and a pair of leopard print boots.

Not many artists would have been able to pull off the sexy genie look but Cheryl somehow pulled it off with aplomb.

The former X Factor presenter said she 'loved' the show and gave a few words of advice to the semi-final contestants.

She said: 'I would say to just dont forget why you came to the show.'

Adding: 'Just live your dream.'

The interview was notably brief perhaps because the singer was seen panting, which raises suspicion as to how she could have sang while performing her elaborate dance moves.
