Olly Murs shares magic moment in Cork with superfan whose 'smile lit up the room'

Olly Murs treated throngs of his fans to a spectacular performance at Live at the Marquee on Friday night but for one superfan in particular, he made her night extra special.

Jennifer Malone, attending her fourth Olly Murs show, had made her way to the front of the packed-out crowd in Cork to see the Troublemaker singer live and her presence didn't go unnoticed by Olly.

As Olly left the stage to sing Dance With Me Tonight with the audience, he spotted Jennifer and shot her a huge smile before embracing her warmly.

Jennifer's mum Donna praised Olly's performance and revealed that her daughter was overwhelmed by the hug.

"A lovely girl caught this moment when Olly came down to Jennifer," Donna tweeted. "She was overcome with emotion afterwards, a fantastic night in the Marquee."

The above tweet caught Olly's attention and he reached out to admit he simply had to come meet Jennifer after spotting her from the stage.

"Aww Jennifer so awesome meeting ya," Olly posted. "From stage I couldn't help but come see you! You sang and danced all night!! Your smile lit up the room! Sorry about the sweaty hug."

Jennifer, who will be familiar to many readers as she is often pictured dedicating her support to Leinster and Irish rugby stars, had the time of her life at the concert, Olly's fourth in Cork.

The former X Factor contestant delighted his fans with renditions of his hits such as Heart Skips a Beat and Troublemaker, as well as several cover songs.
