The former Eternal singer had taken to the stage without the ring for an energetic New Year's Eve performance at G-A-Y, as she celebrated the end of an undoubtedly difficult year.
Her performance came after The Mirror claimed she was gearing up for a wild and rare New Year's night out in London with friends.
Sources told the paper: 'She’s really excited to celebrate with pals out on the town – it’s the first time she’s ever done anything like this.'

She was joined by former Strictly Come Dancing partner Kevin Clifton, 35, who has been supporting her in the wake of her marriage split and choreographed her stage show.
It was recently reported Louise had filed for divorce from the former footballer nine months ago, and only a matter of weeks after her final Strictly tour performances at London's O2 Arena.
Her participation in the 2016 series of the BBC show is widely regarded to have been a factor in the split, but it has been claimed that Jamie fully supported her decision to take part and encouraged her each Saturday night.

Louise and Jamie were awarded a decree nisi in a hearing on Friday that is said to have lasted a mere 25 seconds.
The glamorous showbiz couple first confirmed their split two months ago, with Louise revealing she had moved out of the family home in October.
Louise previously spoke of loving her ‘amazing’ partner but admitted she felt like a ‘sort of Stepford wife’ who is ‘coming back to who she really is’.

In a 25-second hearing at London’s Central Family Court, District Judge Ian Mulkis pronounced the decree nisi. During the court finding it was announced the reason for their divorce lay with Jamie's 'unreasonable behaviour'.
The judge held that the respondent [Jamie] had behaved ‘in such a way that the petitioner [Louise] cannot reasonably be expected to live with the respondent’.
Jamie did not contest the findings and it was concluded that the marriage had broken down irretrievably and would be dissolved in six weeks giving they reach amicable terms on custody of their two sons.
