Olly Murs has won praise for stopping his concert to jump off stage and check on a fan in need.
The singer was performing at Colchester Castle Park in the UK on Sunday, when he noticed a 14-year-old fan receiving medical attention in the crowd, after suffering a seizure.
Olly halted his performance and exited the stage to check with the mother of the fan that he was okay to carry on with the show.
