Earlier, Harry also told the crowd: “It’s big in here, innit? For the next 80-or-something minutes, our job is to entertain you. I promise you we’ll do our absolute very best. You also have one job — that is to have much fun as you possibly can. I want you to be whoever it is you always wanted to be in this field tonight.”

He added: “We have a full moon, you have a ticket and I have to play.”

He also thrilled his audience mid-way through his set by bringing Shania Twain on stage to perform two songs with him, Man! I Feel Like a Woman! and You’re Still The One.

Harry said: “This lady taught me to sing. She also told me that men are trash.”

Shania said: “I’m a bit starstruck, what can I say? No, really, I’m a fan of you, of course. I know that when I was writing this song, you were just a little kid. It’s kind of a dream and very surreal to be sitting here right now to sing this song with you. I think I’m just in love and this song is all about love. So let’s just sing about love.”
