JLS will helm two nights at the London O2 arena next week - here's who will open for the boyband at their upcoming shows.

As part of their 2023 hits shows so far, a familiar rapper who often joined the boy band at the top of the charts during the late noughties has opened their tour concerts.

The same special guest is also set to take to the stage in the capital during JLS' London O2 Arena concerts next Thursday and Friday (November 9 & 10).

Who is the support act for JLS's London O2 Arena shows? Get to know Tinchy Stryder

Ghanaian-British rapper Tinchy Stryder will no doubt be familiar to JLS fans as they both graced the music charts around the same time.

He rose to fame in the early noughties after he joined grime collective Roll Deep alongside some other recognisable artists of the era, including Wiley and Dizzee Rascal.

Having gone on to collaborate with some of music's biggest names at the time, including Taio Cruz and Calvin Harris, he also landed two UK number-one hits with the track Number 1 and Never Leave You.
