The SSE Hydro has apologised for cancelling both Strictly Come Dancing shows on Sunday. 

The Riverside venue was forced to cancel the afternoon and evening events after they found a leak emerging from the roof.

However, fans were left disgruntled as they stood outside the venue in the pouring rain for over two hours until they were told 15 minutes after the event was due to start the show would not go on.

SSE Hydro took to Twitter to issue a sincere apology and acknowledged that their communication in the turn of events could have been handled much better.

It read: "We sincerely apologise that we had to make a decision to cancel both shows at the weekend."

"After establishing that there was a roof leak just before doors opened our main focus was to try and rectify the situation so that both shows could go ahead and fans would not be disappointed."

"Unfortunately, despite our best efforts it became apparent that this was not going to be possible.

"We are very sorry that customers had to wait outside the venue for a period of time whilst we tried to fix the problem and acknowledge that our communication on this could have been better."

Customers were told that refunds will be processed automatically to avoid any further inconvenience.
