A blundering booking agent has left bosses at a Norfolk bar and restaurant red-faced after a pop star blooper.
On Sunday, The White Horse in East Runton announced across their social media pages that Olly Murs would be performing on October 9.
But the business has had to backtrack and delete the posts after finding out the agent had confused the restaurant with another venue.
It turns out that Olly Murs will be performing somewhere in London on October 9 and there won't be another celebrity performance in East Runton until November.

In a post on Facebook today, a spokesman for The White Horse said: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the confirmed invite-only special guest performance on October 9 is no longer going ahead.
"We apologise to those who have already received an invite, you will be first on list once we have confirmed a new date."A string of music and television stars have visited the coastal venue since it underwent a major refurbishment in June.
The appearances are thought to be part of an ongoing marketing campaign to highlight the White Horse name after Chloe Ferry added '#gifted' to snaps of her meal.
The restaurant says another "big performer" is set to appear in November followed by another in December but could not reveal any names at this time.
