Florence Welch from Florence + The Machine admits that she still gets nervous when performing on stage before large crowds.

The singer told Newsbeat's entertainment reporter Natalie Jamieson that she had to be careful not to trip over her dress during her Radio 1 Hackney Weekend performance on day two and that she had recently suffered an accident while performing in Australia.

Highlights from the event, which was part of the London 2012 Festival, are available on the BBC's Hackney Weekend website.
