Singer Olly Murs was left apologising to Take That fans on Friday night after an EIGHT hour airport drama meant he missed his slot supporting the manband on their ongoing tour. Olly was due to play the first of three nights with Take That at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on Friday night.
He had been posting about his airport dramas throughout the day on his Instagram stories. He made it onto one plane after a two hour delay - only for everyone to be taken off board again at London's Heathrow Airport.

He added: "I don’t think I’ve ever missed a gig before, am so annoyed! But am now in a car heading up for our 6hr journey for the Saturday and Sundays show right now."
