American RnB star Jason Derulo startled fans when he walked on stage at a Worcester nightclub and announced: 'Hello Wolverhampton'.

Bungling Derulo, famous for hits Watcha Say and Ridin' Solo, had already left over 1,300 revellers waiting for 20 minutes when he finally arrived at Tramps nightclub just before 3am. 

Disappointed clubbers complained that the singer who arrived late, danced on the balcony for just 15 minutes and greeted Wolverhampton - a city 40 miles away.

Club manager Dean Hill said Derulo 'was on stage a lot longer than ten to 15 minutes' and that he and his entourage were at the club until 4.10am.

The event at the club on Saturday wasn't a Derulo gig but an afterparty he had agreed to host, after a gig he had played earlier that night in Birmingham.

Laura Clifton from Malvern, Worcsester, said: 'We thought it would be a good way to finish the night after we went to his concert in Birmingham.

'It was a really great concert - it was just a pity Worcester was an absolute let down and ruined the night.

 'The DJ shouted 'Jason Derulo's in the house', but we were like 'well, where is he?'

'When he did finally he said 'Hello Wolverhampton' and we were shouting 'Worcester!'

'He didn't even know where he was.

'Maybe he should have gone to Wolverhampton instead.

'He danced behind his DJ Jae Murphy for most of it and just looked like he felt uncomfortable.

'There was quite a few people complaining, especially on Tramps' Facebook page.

'We wouldn't have been so bothered if he had actually hosted it and came in and said hello to everyone and told us he was going to handover to his DJ and would be back down later.

'He didn't even say goodbye.

'He's a massive star in America, massive over here but everyone was just disappointed.

'When Tramps had the X Factor rejects it was really well organised and they would have paid a lot of money to have him appear for him to be visible for only half an hour.

'It wasn't worth it.'

The four women asked for their money back on the night and have since made a complaint to the club online.

On the nightclub's Facebook page, Kate Mcginley wrote: 'What a waste of time. 2 hrs late for a start paid the extra for vip, that was pointless.

'Very disappointed to pay £20 to watch him dance to a Justin Bieber song with his mates for 5 mins.

'Wasted everyone's time, never seen a place clear so quickly with disappointment!'

Mr Hill added: 'People have complained he didn't perform but we said from the start he wouldn't be, it was an afterparty.

'We spend a lot of money bringing new things to Worcester like Snoop Dogg and Jason to raise the profile of Worcester.

'Unfortunately, you are probably going to have a few people who are not satisfied.

'We had 1,300 people in and have had positive feedback so it is only a few people complaining.

'Jason and his entourage were here until 4.10am, he'I think it was fantastic for the city and attracts more people to come to Worcester - I only see it as a positive.

'We have made a big investment to bring big names to the city which is why it is disheartening to see a few people didn't enjoy the experience.'
