TRNSMT fans in shock as BBC star storms stage of Example’s headline performance

TRNSMT fans were left shocked after BBC star Martin Compston stormed Example’s headline act and screams ‘f*** Glastonbury’ as he declared Scottish crowds “were the best in the world”.

The Kickstarts superstar, who took to the main stage in 2022, returned this year to close out the festival‘s King Tut’s stage tonight.

And he brought on special guest Martin Compston, 40, who opened his set holding a Saltire flag.

The pair had been dining with Glaswegian chef Jimmy Lee at the Lychee Oriental in the city centre before heading out to the festival.

Addressing the packed out crowd, the Line of Duty star said: “I’m just a wee scally fae Greenock.

“And that man asked me to be here because he’s a legend.

“Let’s give some appreciation for Example.

“He’s a friend of mine, he told me the best crowds in the world are f***** Scotland.

“And tonight, we are going to prove them right again – because f*** Glastonbury” – before launching into a chant “No Scotland, No Party” with the crowd.

Martin and Example then launch into his set with noughties banger Changed the Way you Kiss Me.

The pals were also joined in stage by actor Greg McHugh, best known for his role as camp squaddie in BBC comedy Gary Tank Commander.

It comes the area around the Kings Tut stage was fenced in with metal barriers and a yellow traffic sign displayed “Area full.”

Hundreds of fans were claimed to have been turned away from the smaller stage because the area was at capacity.

One fuming fan said: “I think they should be on the main stage.”

Another one said he was left “raging” because “he paid to see him” but the area was “too mobbed.”

A third said Example was “that brilliant” he should have been a headliner.

Footage from the Kings Tuts stage this evening showed Example entertain the jam-packed outdoor venue.

TRNSMT revellers are set to enjoy 20C heat as the festival kicks off today.

Up to 150,000 music lovers are set to pack out Glasgow Green for the major event.

Big-name acts such as Calvin Harris and Gerry Cinnamon are set to take to the stage over the next three days.

But despite the weather misery endured by Scots in recent weeks, things are set to change for the festival.

The Met Office has forecast good weather for most of the three-day music festival on Glasgow Green.

The festival opens today with Sugababes and Example on the bill.
