Professor Green has revealed that a man apparently wielding a knife broke onto a set while he was filming.

The rapper and TV star took to Twitter to tell fans that he had been shooting in Gloucestershire on Thursday when a violent man disrupted proceedings.

He wrote: “Interesting day filming. Some bloke was noising up while we were trying to film. Reappears later waving a blade about #cheltenham.”

Green – real name Stephen Manderson – went on to say that it could have been a ‘bottle-opener’ rather than a knife.

“In fairness he had a bottle of wine so it could have been a bottle opener... Cause that's normal. #cheltenham.”

The musician, who recently split from wife Millie Mackintosh, survived an attack back in 2009.
