Katherine Jenkins threatens to spill out of dress on stage as boyfriend Gethin Jones looks on

When Katherine Jenkins performed at Kenwood House, it wasn't just her powerful voice that wowed the crowd.

The Welsh singer looked stunning in a selection of low cut dresses which revealed her curvy figure.

The patriotic 28-year-old also made sure her outfit was complete by draping herself in her home country's flag for one of her classical performances, which was accompanied by the London Philharmonia Orchestra.

The appreciative crowd included her boyfriend, Blue Peter presenter and Strictly Come Dancing star Gethin Jones, who watched from a deck chair at the outdoor venue.

Katherine was back on stage the following day in a striking canary yellow dress to take part in the official handover of the Beijing Olympic Games to London in front of the flag waving crowds on The Mall outside Buckingham Palace.
