Although Jonathan Ross is known for hosting a big celebrity-filled Halloween bash every year, he has decided to postpone the festivities.
Jonathan Ross has revealed the reason why his legendary Halloween party has been cancelled this year.
The chat show host shared the news following his appearance on The Celebrity Traitors, where he became the first Traitor to be caught out.
While speaking to Ed Gamble on a bonus episode of The Traitors: Uncloaked podcast, Jonathan explained that his famous bash at his Hampstead home won’t be happening this Halloween.
Joe Marler mentioned which famous people he became particularly close to while filming The Celebrity Traitors, saying, “I met him a few times, had him on my show a few times, and he was invited to my parties on Halloween, when I was still doing them.
After mentioning several other contestants who Jonathan also gained insight from on the reality show, Ed said, “The main takeaway I took from that, Jonathan, is that you’re not doing your Halloween parties anymore,” he said.
No, he retorted, “I’m afraid not.” They cost a fortune, but I might do them before I leave. He continued to acknowledge that managing the event was challenging due to the event’s growing popularity.
Every time I said, “Are you hosting a Halloween party?,” people would be like that because our event became so well-known. he explained. I only really knew 30% of the adults I invited. I liked all of the others, but I wasn’t familiar with them.
Jonathan’s Halloween parties have been a fixture on the celebrity calendar for years. He hosted the annual event at his north London residence, which was well-known for its extravagant costumes and A-list guests.
Stars like Dame Joan Collins, Claudia Schiffer, Nicole Scherzinger, Alan Carr, and David Walliams were among the regulars who flocked to the spooky soirée.
The event was just as popular as ever at what turned out to be his final house party in 2019. Judge Rinder channeled Anne Boleyn, and David Walliams appeared as Dr. Evil, complete with a fluffy white cat, in Scarlett Moffatt’s Absolutely Fabulous outfit.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought the parties to a halt in 2020, and they remained on pause for another year as Jonathan’s daughter Betty battled fibromyalgia.
He revived the festivities in a different way in 2022. The TV star moved the party to Camden’s KOKO nightclub as opposed to hosting at his Hampstead residence.
However, Jonathan returned the Halloween spirit to the United States last year, but not as much as he had before. He shifted his focus away from the big-name trick-or-treaters and to the neighborhood’s.
His home was transformed into a spooky wonderland with red lighting, spooky performers, and enormous props, including a terrifying clown show.
Now, in 2025, it seems Jonathan is ready to close the lid on his Halloween hosting days. The Mirror has contacted Jonathan’s publicity team for comment.
