‘Who’s trying to wind me up?’ Hotel singer on being asked to open for Take That

Daniel Rooney tells ITV’s Lorraine show about standing in for Olly Murs in Glasgow on Friday

The Scottish singer who was drafted in at the last minute to replace Olly Murs supporting Take That has said he thought it was a “wind up” when he was asked to rush to the arena and perform.

Daniel Rooney was plucked from a hotel bar in Glasgow when Murs was forced to cancel his support act at the OVO Hydro on Friday because of travel problems.
