Play all audios:


The 18-year-old - who won the ITV talent show last year - returned to the stage to perform her new single So Good, but viewers were more interested in the barely-there outfit that she was


wearing. Louisa chose to show off her enviable figure in a short silver ensemble, but she has now insisted that she didn't let the reaction to her outfit bother her. Asked if she was


bothered about the furore overshadowing her performance, Louisa told Express.co.uk exclusively: "A little bit, but at the same time I'm happy with what I'm wearing. "I


feel good in it, I feel confident. I've just got to let it go over my head. "Outfits are the least of my worries and I don't really care [what people think]. It's just


silly."  Louisa performed at last night's Oxford Street Christmas Lights switch-on, which, this year, are in partnership with children's charity the NSPCC. The charity


launched its Little Stars campaign by asking members of the public across the country to donate a suggested £5 to name one of Oxford Street’s world famous lights for someone special in their


life. All money raised goes to the NSPCC’s life-changing services that help keep children safe. Craig David did the honour of pressing the infamous button and said that it's important


to him to highlight such issues. He explained: "When I go on stage it feels like home, but this one I feel quite sad about. It really is an honour to turn the lights on, I know so many


people wait to find out who's turning them on. "But, when it's so cold and everyone's wrapped up, it is that moment to highlight to be grateful and enjoy Christmas and be


around friends and family, it's important…but, there's so much homelessness and it's so important to highlight that."     "For me, it's not about telling


everyone everyone to do something, but if you can make a difference. At the end of the day, we get to go how and live under a roof. That for me is about more than just turning the lights


on," he continued. Craig - who has enjoyed years of success with his music - went on to say that he's been through some tough times throughout his career, but it's got him to


where he is today. He insisted: "Everything leads you to where you're supposed to get to, you need to go through some hard times to enjoy the successes in life. When you get it you


think 'oh that's what living life is all about'."   To donate and name a light on Oxford Street click here.
