Charlotte Church has apologised for her ‘wild’ 30th birthday party after several neighbours complained about the noise.

Church celebrated her milestone birthday with a party at her mansion in Dinas Powys, Wales on Saturday night.

But some residents complained about the “appalling” noise while another told The Telegraph that the party had turned the street into a “war-zone”.

Defending herself on Twitter Church wrote: “To some of my 'neighbours', I'd really appreciate you coming and speaking to me direct if there's an issue rather than the gutter press.

“Also the description of my 30th party turning my village into a 'war zone' is utterly hysterical. Loud Abba is not similar to a war zone!!!!

“Also apologies to those who were affected by the noise. It won't happen again. Xx.”

She later joked: “I'm just trying so hard to be a grown up y'know.”

But some failed to accept the apology with one user tweeting: "Frustrating Sunday for neighbours near @charlottechurch ? Good that she's apologised but in future, be a good girl & have your party indoors."

Another posted: "Shouldn't really need telling that noise til 5:30am is not OK. You are an adult. You should know."
