Friday (July 17) saw Little Mix take to the stage as part of Thorpe Park Resort's Island Beats event, just minutes after they were announced as singles chart toppers for the third time with their brand new single 'Black Magic'.

Making history by claiming the first number one since the chart results moved from a Sunday to Friday reveal, the group rocked a huge crowd for a special sunset headline set at the theme park.

Opening their set with a rendition of theit track 'Salute', they praised their fans through a set which even saw Perrie launch into an impromptu rendition of Kool & The Gang's 'Celebration'.

Jesy Rixton's then-boyfriend now-fiancé Jake Roche was in the crowd alongside Rixton bandmate Charley Bagnall, who showed their support and signed autographs for fans.

Emma Bunton was also spotted in the crowd with her husband and their children.

Before the gig, the girls got the chance to meet some of their biggest fans and even headed over to the basketball area to shoot some hoops.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock of the band said ahead of the gig: "I'm so excited to perform at Thorpe Park Resort this summer! The rollercoasters are incredible. I used to always come as a teenager when I lived in High Wycombe and still find time now to go on a few rollercoasters. I took Jade to Thorpe Park last year, but she kept her feet firmly on the ground - I on the other hand, love a scary ride!"

Island Beats is Thorpe Park Resort's summer season of music gigs from stars of pop, RnB and dance music, every Friday and Saturday from now until August 30.
