Jess Glynne has dropped out of the Isle of MTV concert because of illness.

"We understand that Jess is very disappointed to have to miss the show as well as her other European performances across the summer," MTV and the Malta Tourism Authority said.

Glynne also dropped out of the Isle of Wight Festival a few days ago and is to have surgery on her vocal cords.

The Isle of MTV will be held on the Floriana granaries on July 7.

Jess Glynne shot to international stardom in the past 18 months following a series of number one singles including recent UK number one ‘Hold My Hand’, a dance anthem collaboration with electro-classical group Clean Bandit on ‘Rather Be’ (winner of ‘Best Dance’ at the 2015 Grammy Awards) and a soulful-house feature on Route 94’s ‘My Love’.
