TRNSMT fans shocked as Line of Duty star Martin Compston storms Example stage and shouts ‘f*** Glastonbury’

TRNSMT fans were left shocked after BBC star Martin Compston stormed the Example headline act and shouted “f*** Glastonbury” while declaring the Scottish crowd “the best in the world”.

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

He also invited Martin Compston, 40, who opened his set holding a Saltire flag.

The couple had dinner with Glasgow chef Jimmy Lee at Lychee Oriental in the city centre before heading to the festival.

Addressing the large crowd, the Line of Duty star said: “I’m just a little scaly fairy from Greenock.

“And this man asked me to be here because he is a legend.

“Let’s give Example some recognition.

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

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

Martin and Example then launched into their set with the 2000s hit, Change the Way you Kiss Me.

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

The area around the Kings Tut stage has been fenced off with metal barriers and a yellow sign reading “Zone plein”.

Hundreds of fans were reportedly turned away from the small stage because the venue was full.

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

Another said he was “angry” because he had “paid to see it” but the area was “too crowded.”

A third said Example was “so brilliant” he should have headlined.

Footage from the Kings Tuts stage tonight showed Example entertaining the packed outdoor venue.

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

Up to 150,000 music fans are expected to fill Glasgow Green for the major event.

Renowned artists such as Calvin Harris and Gerry Cinnamon will take to the stage over the next three days.

But despite the difficult weather conditions the Scots have faced 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 law project.
