Ella Henderson performs secret gig


Ella Henderson performed a secret gig in London last night (15.04.15).

The former X Factor’ contestant was unveiled as the new face of Batiste dry shampoo’s 2015 Ready For It campaign earlier this week and celebrated the launch of the collaboration with a concert and cocktail party at the Sanderson hotel.

The acoustic set included her latest single ‘Mirror Man’ and ‘Ghost’ and before performing ‘Mirror Man’, the 19-year-old singer revealed that the song was written about the "most selfish, most self-obsessed boy" she’s ever met, though she declined to name names.

Ella admitted that she made a last minute change her set-list for the evening, due the sun coming out, as it inspired her to sing her mum’s favourite song ‘Rockets’.

In between songs, Ella excitedly chatted about her new collaboration with Batiste and how she plans to try something different with her hair.

The teenage star’s parents and BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills were among the guests at the event, and they, along with others in attendance got to tuck into salmon and burger canapés and vanilla-infused vodka-based cocktails.

Ella admitted earlier this week Batiste is one of her go-to products.

She said: "Batiste is my number one hit; I’m either in the studio or on stage, in a car or on a plane – often with little time to get ready. I can always count on Batiste to refresh and restyle my hair in one go; I know I’ll always be ready for wherever the day takes me."
