Homesick comic cancels gigs

I’M A Celebrity star Shappi Khorsandi has dramatically cancelled booked dates on her live tour as she’s not seeing enough of her children and was going ‘mad’.

‘Really sorry if you bought tickets,’ the Mock The Week and Live At The Apollo regular, 49, tells fans online. ‘Being away from home was agony. I just wasn’t seeing enough of my children and I couldn’t handle it any more. My son is 14 and my daughter is nine and it goes fast. I never thought I would cancel one show let alone a whole tour, but I was going mad.

‘I don’t use this word flippantly.’
