A south coast Olly Murs concert has been cancelled after the event organiser announced they have gone bust.

The show, in Bournemouth, was set to draw thousands of people to Kings Park on Saturday, August 5.

The pop idol, who rose to fame following his appearance on X Factor, was due to be performing as part of a series of open-air performances being held throughout the summer across the country.

However, organisers of the Bournemouth show, Stephen C Associates, have released a statement on the Olly in the Park website to announce it has been cancelled - and they will be unable to offer refunds.

“We deeply regret to inform you that the company Stephen C Associates Limited has ceased to trade. It is insolvent and is expected to go into liquidation shortly," it says.

“The shows which will be cancelled are: The Olly Murs concerts planned for 29th July, the BSO Last Night of the Proms concert for the 30th July (Powderham Castle, Exeter) and Olly Murs concert on 5th August (Kings Park, Bournemouth) and will now NOT take place. Please do not turn up at either venue for these shows.
