A Christmas meet-and-greet at a Glasgow shopping centre has been cancelled.

The Grinch was supposed to make an appearance at the Glasgow Fort today (Sunday, December 18) but has had to call off the visit due to feeling 'under the weather'.

In a social media post, a spokesperson for the shopping mall said: "We are very sorry to announce that the grumpy green one is feeling under the weather and has had to cancel his visit to the centre today.

"Apologies to all our shoppers who were hoping to meet him."

It comes after we reported that some shops at the Fort are to stay open until midnight in the week running up to Christmas.
