Paloma Faith was feeling better and returned to the Glastonbury stage on Sunday, just days after losing her voice and being forced to cancel her Southampton show.
The singer, 42, rocked out and shook her long hair wildly during the energetic set and was cheered on by the crowd as well as her famous friend and former Celebrity Bake Off co-star Jodie Whittaker, also 42.
Paloma put on a very long-legged display for the performance in a semi-transparent red dress with strategically placed ruffles and a very daring slit.
She completed her onstage ensemble with a bejeweled cowboy hat and strutted her stuff in a pair of clear perspex heels.
Paloma, who was still recovering, made sure to drink tea throughout the performance to soothe her sore throat.
