A SHOW stopping Cirque Du Soleil act has wowed the crowds at Glasgow's riverside.

Acrobatic stars of the hit Las Vegas-style act visited The SSE Hydro this afternoon to perform part of their routine from the incredible Ovo show.

The cast of OVO is comprised of 50 performing artists from 17 countries specialising in many acrobatic acts, which includes British Alanna Baker who plays the role of the Black Spider in the show.

She was crowned gymnastics European Champion in 2011 and won Bronze in the World Championships in 2012.

Alanna, who has been training since she was five years old has travelled around the world with OVO to countries as far reaching as Japan and Australia and is now set for a return to her home here in the UK.

Having thrilled more than 5 million people worldwide since the show premiered in Montreal in 2009 as a Big Top show, OVO embarks on a journey, offering the same captivating production as the Big Top performances, but on a larger scale now, visiting major arenas and venues, including those around the UK.

The troupe will be on stage at The Hydro this evening with shows each night until Sunday, September 9.
