Hitmaker Dappy has pulled out of his confirmed slot at this weekend's V Festival with no explanation.

The 'No Regrets' star recently postponed his entire tour of the UK, which was due to kick off in September, and has now cancelled his set at the popular festival that takes place over one weekend in both Essex and Staffordshire.

Popular band The Charlatans have stepped in to replace him and they will appear on both dates, August 18 and 19, instead.

Meanwhile party rocking duo LMFAO and singer Frank Ocean also pulled out of V Festival, but 25 new acts were added to the bill last week including the likes of Conor Maynard, Devlin and Aiden Grimshaw.
