Ella Henderson has been announced as the Saturday headliner for SMR 25 at Stevenage's Lamex Stadium.

Taking place on May 23, 24 and 25, organisers KB Concerts promised "big-name artists" for the three-day series of stadium shows, and have secured the former X Factor star for an already jam-packed bill.

Henderson shot to fame when she competed in the 2012 edition of the talent show, being the eighth contestant eliminated despite being a strong favourite to win.
