John Barrowman, a notorious actor, is reportedly giving away tickets to his John Barrowman Laid Bare tour.

The former Torchwood actor is currently touring the UK with the second half of the tour after recently saying he had been “blackballed” by the industry following his scandal in 2021. After being accused of exposing himself on the set of Doctor Who and its spin-off Torchwood, former Dancing on Ice judge John, 57, was exposed.

John described his behaviour as “spirited” and said his “tomfoolery” was never “intended nor interpreted as being sexual in nature” but apologised for his “exuberant behaviour” in 2021. Years on, the actor decided to embark on a tour in 2024, with the first leg wrapping up in November, to speak out about the scandal.

The second leg of the tour is set to kick-start in February. However, one particular date’s tickets are reportedly being offered for free. On February 5, John will take the stage at Tunbridge Wells Assembley Halls, but a screenshot of the seating arrangement for the performance shows that many of the seats are still available.

On the sales website Show Film First, which was initially priced at £28.80, reportedly offers free tickets. The website claims to only be charging an “access fee,” which is meant to cover “our reasonable costs of providing access to the tickets and administering the booking website,” according to The Sun. However, it has been claimed that nothing more is being added to the ticket itself.

On the second leg of his tour John is set to visit Birmingham, Tunbridge Wells, Chatham, Harpenden and more. On February 4, John’s tour resumes, and on March 28 he will give his final performance in London.

Following the scandal in 2021, John claimed that the showbiz industry had “turned their backs” on him. He told WalesOnline earlier this week: “I think I’ve been badly treated, definitely”.

He added that he had accused colleagues of “turning their backs” on him and that he had been “disgusted” by the way that people with whom he had worked on Doctor Who and Torchwood had treated him. John branded the story “c**p” and said he “ended up being good clickbait”.

“It’s been devastating – to the point I was blackballed”, he added. “I can’t get into a room for an audition or a meeting anymore. Because of how people have treated me, it’s quite revolting for me to talk about it and expose it on stage. I’ve always been open and honest, and I’ve always had a conversation about everything, but it’s disgusting for people to manipulate me. Only the truth comes out of my mouth.

John continued to say that he was only “written into a script” on the set when he claimed to be naked. He continued, “It was my fault if I was wiggling it or being stupid because I’m standing there naked, b******.”

John admitted to exposing himself on set in May 2021, saying, “With the benefit of hindsight, I understand that my exuberant behavior may have caused upheurges, and I have since apologised for this.

He added: “Since my apology in November 2008, my understanding and behaviour have also changed”.

Most of us have probably come to the realization that not all footwear is appropriate for winter. When it’s raining cats and dogs and the floors are slick or frozen, reaching for your favorite Ugg boots or Croc sliders is not a wise or practical choice in the rain, snow, or ice.

Therefore, it makes sense to choose footwear that is appropriate for this wet and miserable season. We can advise you on which footwear should be kept in the wardrobe until spring and which ones should not. Before Storm Eowyn strikes again, we’ve compiled our top picks for footwear.

The same “sensual” perfume that is currently on sale to Four Love Island All Stars girls is adored by them.

For icy conditions like heavy snow or rain, sturdy boots, waterproof footwear, and wellies are a must. When you’re dealing with the storm, the best shoes to wear are those with rubber soles that grip on slippery surfaces, preferably treated uppers that repel water and prevent your toes from getting wet, and insulated linings that keep your feet toasty even as you venture into the tundra in the winter.

Avoid delicate and untreated materials like suede or fabric to prevent unnecessary damage and sodden socks.

Don’t panic, though, opting for sturdier rubber soles, treated materials, and thick linings doesn’t have to mean sacrificing fashion for practicality. We’ve got plenty of suggestions that blend comfort, convenience, and chic style. Plus, bagging these beauties doesn’t have to mean blowing the bank, either!

Look no further than your favorite Chelsea boot for the waterproofing and durability you want when you want to step out in shoes.

There are a variety of ankle boot wellies that are worn as fashionable and cool footwear. For £89.95, purchase these Bobbi Ankle Wellington boots from Merry People, which are available in a variety of colors. Or check out Charles Clinkard’s Caprice Sally Women’s Ankle Boots for sale for a reduced price of £59.99.

These timeless and timelessly chic Field Lace-Up Shoes in black are great for workwear but also versatile enough to take it out for dinner in the evenings. These Timberland gems, which are currently on sale for half price, are made of premium Timberland leather that promises to last while keeping your feet dry. These are available in stores for £50.

Winter boots or hiking boots may be the next best thing (pun intended) for something that looks as durable as it is and offers protection for your toes from wet and cold weather.

These Peter Storm Women’s Snowdon II Walking Boots are currently under a £59.95 price tag thanks to an Amazon deal that has been running since December.

Check out ASOS’ offer for these The North Face Storm Strike iii waterproof boots, which cost £77, down from £110. Meanwhile, you can shop these Berghaus Women’s Expeditor Trek 2.0 for £130.

It might be worthwhile to change your footwear to make sure your toes are protected from the winter weather, which increases the lifespan. When wearing the same pair of shoes every day, one pair doesn’t allow them to completely dry out, but switching between two or more pairs helps prevent moisture buildup and lessens water-related wear and tear. Therefore, purchasing more than one pair of winter footwear is worthwhile.

Although the usual rumors about who will win will already be making the rounds in a few months, we can wait and enjoy a whole new season of drama on Celebrity Big Brother.

A source claims OK! as rumors spread that WAG and Rebekah Vardy, the mother-of-five, might be entering the famous home. that Coleen Rooney, her arch-nemesis, and her recent success in the I’m A Celebrity… jungle can serve as the only driving force behind the move.

Rebekah Vardy might be appearing in Celebrity Big Brother, according to Rebekah Vardy. And Becky will be hoping very much to emulate Coleen’s success in the jungle, and turn public opinion around totally, with a stint on the show’, the source told us”. A primetime show like Celebrity Big Brother would be a great vehicle for a lot of opportunities, just like Coleen did with I’m A Celeb, and she would hope that everyone fell in love with her and be given exciting projects as a result.

It has been two months since Becky, and the rest of the nation, watched transfixed from home as her former rival in court and fellow WAG, Coleen, 38, rolled up her sleeves, removed all traces of glam make-up and headed into the famous jungle.

And although she didn’t win, placing as runner up behind King of the jungle Danny Jones, the doting Liverpudlian mum-of-three, who is married to former football pro Wayne, certainly won the nation’s hearts, with her sweet, down-to-earth nature, her eagerness to get stuck into those grim bushtucker trials and her juicy stories around the campfire.

Now, it seems likely that Becky, who herself appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2017, would soon be in the spotlight as one of the housemates on ABC’s next big reality show, will soon be in the spotlight. According to Gambling.com, the 42-year old – who is married to Leicester striker Jamie, is the 11/8 favourite to sign up for this year’s show, followed by Paris Fury, at 6/4.

Becky might enjoy watching such a show. However, if she uses it as an opportunity to criticize Coleen rather than just be herself, as she frequently did in her I’m A Celebrity newspaper column, where she frequently commented that the show “sank in the river twice” (at one point), she will regret it. It’s the gift that keeps on giving”) – the move has the potential of doing the opposite of what she might hope, claims our source.

“It could backfire on her, as Coleen is very well-loved. Everyone fell in love with her because she was such a hit in the jungle. But this was Becky’s worst nightmare. Many people thought she was being overly harsh with her remarks about Coleen in a column in a national newspaper where she discussed the events surrounding I’m a celebrity.

With the recent launch of a new wellness range with Applied Nutrition, a deal that could bring in millions, Coleen is continuing her success after earning a reported £1.5 million paycheck for the jungle. The source continues, saying Becky must “drop” any notion of competition or one-upmanship for them both so they can continue living together.

“The jungle showed that Coleen was just a lovely, family-oriented girl, but Becky still feels like there’s unfinished business between them, and if she does go into CBB, sparks could fly, and Coleen will have to put up with whatever she may say about her on-air”.

Since 2019, the two have been arguing after Coleen accused Becky of disclosing her private information to the media during the now-infamous Wagatha Christie scandal. After that, they were involved in a legal dispute that ultimately settled in Coleen’s favor, despite the latter’s defense of her innocence. Few could have predicted the development of one of the most extraordinary celebrity sagas in the twenty-first century from the beginning of a single Instagram post.

One thing’s for sure, if Becky does go into Celebrity Big Brother, where shock revelations about fellow celebs are 10 a penny (who could forget loose-lipped Louis Walsh last season? ), she might not be able to bring up her epic feud with Coleen, which would undoubtedly enthral show bosses. Becky could surprise us all and steer clear of any discussions with her fellow WAG. Either way, we’d be in for some epic telly. Watch this space, we say….

If The Traitors has taken over your January like it did for us, you’re just as let down by tonight’s episode. Sadly, that means no more contestant drama, chaotic roundtables and, of course, no more iconic style moments.

As always, Claudia Winkleman has taken over the conversation with her gothic, androgynous, ‘ country core ‘ looks. However, we’ve had our eye on another unexpected series style icon – Francesca Rowan-Plowden or Frankie, as the other contestants call her.

We are eagerly awaiting each episode to see what ensemble she’ll be wearing next because of her distinctive style and odd pieces. We’re not the only ones who are big fans of Frankie’s fashion.

Her Instagram has been inundated with comments from viewers who love her style, writing, “Your style is so fabulous, loving the outfits”, “Am now spoilt for choice between ogling your wardrobe and Claudia Winkleman”, and “Girl you are the best-dressed person on the show no wonder your interior design work is so gorgeous”.

We can’t get enough of Frankie’s style, from her belted denim dress to her iconic mustard yellow suit and snakeskin slingbacks. So we’ve found a few pieces she’s worn on the show and some alternatives.

EPISODE 2 – FARM RIO DENIM DRESS

One of our favorite denim pieces, which we’ve seen in episodes 2 and 3, is from where we’ve seen Frankie wear a lot of denim, from dungarees to jeans and skirts. The exact dress is Farm Rio’s Patch Denim Midi-Dress, £270. With its retro patchwork and oversized frills, this odd piece perfectly captures Frankie’s style.

We love the uniqueness of Farm Rio’s clothing, and although the dress is pricey, there are not many similar styles around. We have, however, found this Denim Pleated Hem Biker Dress from Karen Millen with a similar interesting silhouette, and it’s currently £90.

EPISODE 7 – M&amp, S SNAKESKIN SLINGBACKS

In episode 7, you may recall Frankie running down to save Alexander from the coffin before confessing to using snakeskin slingbacks. After some digging, we found out that these slingbacks are from M&amp, S. Unfortunately, they are sold out, as they were last year. However, we have found a pair from Oliver Bonas that looks strikingly similar, available for £75.

Thankfully, Frankie confirmed that the slingbacks survived the mud!

EPISODE 8 – RIXO TIE-NECK BLOUSE

In episode 8, Frankie participates in the creepy doll mission, which is my favorite look of the series. Frankie wore a red tie-neck blouse teamed with a brown corduroy jacket, skinny light-wash jeans, and tan western-style boots. As soon as we spotted the amazing red blouse, we knew it was from the female-founded brand Rixo. Again, this is an older piece, so it is now sold out, but we have found a few alternatives if you want to get the look.

Rixo has a new-season version of the tie-neck top available for £185 at Selfridge’s. Although the silhouette and neck detail are virtually identical, the pattern and color are the same.

Additionally, Next sells for $42, which includes a Love and Roses Red Bow Printed Tie Neck Detail.

EPISODE 10 – ALIGNE DENIM SKIRT

In episode 10, we learned that Frankie was wearing an incredible denim skirt from Aligne, one of our favorite brands. And Frankie confirmed it to her Instagram followers.

Sadly, Aligne’s Luna Volume Denim Maxi-Skirt is currently out of stock (although we’re hoping it will come back). We have found Nobody’s Child’s Blue Mid Wash Denim Midi Skirt on sale for £45. Alongside this, Aligne’s Mary Long Pleated Denim Skirt (£49.49) is in a deeper indigo wash than Frankie’s, but the length and pleats give off a very similar vibe.
