Cancelled Olly Murs gig leaves thousands of fans disappointed and out of pocket

Thousands of Olly Murs fans have been left disappointed by news that his upcoming concert at Powderham Castle has been cancelled.

The pop star's gig was called off after the promoters went into liquidation.

Stephen C Associates emailed ticket holders and released a statement online telling concert-goers not to turn up on the night as the gig would not be taking place.

Powderham Castle was set to be the venue for the X Factor star's show on 29 July.

Some of those who planned to attend now do not know if they will get their money back.

On his own Twitter page, Olly said he was "gutted" for his Exeter fans and said the situation was out of his control.

The venue, Powderham Castle, says it will try to make it up to fans.
