Olly Murs temporarily took over a radio show to make a surprise announcement about a homecoming gig.

The 40-year-old burst into the BBC Essex studio while presenter Ben Fryer was speaking on air and pretended to kick him out of his chair, saying "move over, it's my show now".

The Witham-born pop star will take to the stage at Chelmsford City Racecourse on 6 July next year.

"I can't wait to be performing back at home and I look forward to seeing you guys next summer at the racecourse," Murs said, announcing the news live on the radio.
