Ella Henderson performed her version of Cher's "Believe" at last night's National Television Awards to a massive response from the audience.

She originally performed the song during the audition stages of the last series of the X Factor and wowed the audience with her slowed down version of the famously high energy hit from 1998.

Ella performed with nothing but a piano backing her up and was met with a huge applause from the all-star audience which included soap stars and other figures prominent on our screens.

Ella had initially been favourite to win the X Factor and there was an uproar when she was voted out mid way through the competition. She has since had record companies fighting over her but was then signed to Sony music along with James Arthur and Jahmene Douglas.

Before her signing, she was intending to do a tour of clubs around the country but being only 16, her age meant that because of licensing laws, she was unable to uphold agreed performances.

Although she has been signed to Sony, it is still uncertain which branch has snapped her up.
