He penned: ‘I hate that I have to write this & really so sorry to let you guys down, but unfortunately, we are having to reschedule our next two shows in Brighton & Hull.
‘The gastroenteritis bug I had last night is currently ripping through our band and crew, which makes it impossible to put on a show for you.

‘Thank you for understanding and we’re working hard to bring you news of our rescheduled dates as soon as we can. Love Olly x.’

The pop star – who is expecting his second child – apologised for letting fans down as he shared a lengthy message
The Troublemaker singer’s update comes after he recently shared the very heartwarming news that he is expecting his second child.
Olly and wife Amelia – who welcomed their first daughter, Madison, 11 months ago in May – took to Instagram last week to confirm they will soon be welcoming another baby.
During his and Mark Wright’s Heart radio show on Saturday, Olly spoke for the first time about becoming a dad again, admitting he didn’t ‘expect it to happen this quick’.
As his pal Mark congratulated him on the news, he asked the star how ‘buzzing’ he was.
Olly, 40, replied: ‘Mate, it’s been… you know when you have those weeks where you can’t tell anyone? It’s been really exciting news for us both.
‘A shock, we didn’t expect it to happen this quick, but just yeah, amazing. We just want to grow our little family.’
‘You should be so proud of yourselves. You’re the best mum and dad ever to Maddie, and the fact you’re doing it again, giving her a little sibling, is just sensational,’ Mark gushed. ‘I love you mate, and I love the whole family, and I’m just buzzing for you.’

‘So I’m going to be at the start soon,’ Olly laughed.
‘You’re going to be back where I was weeks ago, and now I can make fun of you having sleepless nights,’ Mark joked.
In an adorable black and white video shared by Olly, the family of three were seen walking through the park with Madison sat on her father’s shoulders.
She wore a denim jacket embossed with the words ‘BIG SIS’, while Amelia held a reel of snaps of the baby scan.
They penned in a caption: ‘We’re so egg-cited to share this..… Another Baby Murs on the way.’
Olly and his bodybuilder partner, 32, tied the knot in July 2023 and announced the arrival of their baby girl on April 17.
Just 48 hours after Amelia had given birth, the singer was back on tour supporting Take That.
The singer told the crowd at the time how he had been juggling nappies and late nights, but felt guilty he had been working away from home.
He said: ‘It’s been the most craziest time. Cos obviously on one hand I’ve got this beautiful baby girl, my wife is at home looking after her with the nappies, and the sleepless nights.
‘And I’m on tour with Take That. I feel guilty!’
