N-Dubz hitmaker turned solo star Dappy has announced that his forthcoming UK tour has been pushed back because the release date of his album has been delayed.

In a series of Twitter posts made earlier this evening (July 11), the 'No Regrets' sensation explained to his fans that he won't be hitting the road in September as originally planned because his record, entitled 'Bad Intentions', won't be out until October 1:

"We had to move Bad Intentions Tour to December cos the album got moved to October...Sorry guys just getting this music perfect for u xx"

"Can't wait to see you all though and it's near Christmas ayyyyyyy!! New dates and artwork here and IRISH dates. All original tickets are still valid of couuuuurssseee!! Right I'm off back in to the sea lolll, love u guys, without u I'm nothing xxx"

The new run of dates will begin on November 27 in Belfast and the tour is set to finish in Folkestone on December 21.
