We hope he gets better soon.”Belfast singer Brendan Quinn stepped in alongside fiddle player Ciara Maguire to fill the slot.Ruth McIlroy, who organised the weekend, said fans had been “very understanding”.“A lot of the crowd heard him do his sound check, but unfortunately he clearly wasn’t feeling well and he got worse as evening went on,” she said.“Medics on site were very clear he needed to go to hospital.

'She looks good, but still!' Lady Colin Campbell mistaken for Jorgie Porter by co-star
I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! in 2015 with Lady Colin Campbell, 72.Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Jorgie recalled fellow star Tony Hadley, 61, getting the pair mixed up on the show.Whilst on I'm a Celeb, Lady C caused lots of drama and had plenty of arguments with Spandau Ballet frontman Tony.Recalling a memory of her time in the jungle, Jorgie said: "When we were in the jungle, obviously we were all wearing the same outfits and my hair and Lady’s C’s hair was a similar colour."And I remember Tony Hadley shouting at Lady C ‘Georgie, Georgie’ and she turned around and it wasn’t me."I stood there like…"She looks good for her age and stuff but still, I’m here, haha!"Jorgie said in the jungle she was very shocked by what Lady C said most of the time, but that didn't stop the star "enjoying" her company.The Hollyoaks star continued: "I enjoyed her, there were times when the cameras weren’t on and some things happened and you’re like, 'Oh my god you can’t say that.'"I think that was the last time there was controversy in the jungle, I don’t think I’ve seen it like that since."Which, I am glad I was in that one as it was pure entertainment."I kind of liked it because at the end of the day you’re in a place that you’re just not meant to be, it’s not normal and it’s not a situation anyone can really handle I suppose."So, it was just entertaining at the end of the day."After leaving the jungle, Jorgie reflected on the experience.Speaking to Ant and Dec, she said: "I thought it would be really easy.“I thought we would get sandwiches.
