POPULAR singer-songwriter Billy Nomates has asked the BBC to remove footage of her Glastonbury set after she received abuse online.

This comes as music lovers from across the country descend on Worthy Farm for a weekend of acts from some of the biggest names.

The artist, whose real name is Tor Maries, made the request to the broadcaster after suffering from hateful comments following her performance.

The 33-year-old performed live to fans on Friday when she took to the Park Stage in the afternoon.

However, the musical artists from Leicester was subjected to a wave of abuse.

Billy Nomates then released a statement to condemn and shine a light on the abuse before asking the BBC to remove the entirety of the Glastonbury set from its socials.

In the post, which was shared by Billy Bragg, she said: “I know it’s not for everyone what I do. I know lots of people don’t rate me. But the level of personal abuse on that public page is too much. There will be no more shows after this summer. You wouldn’t stay in a workplace that did this to you. Why should I.”
