Huge comedian issues heartfelt apology to fans as he's forced to cancel upcoming Scotland shows due to being too unwell to perform
Rob Beckett has apologised to fans after being forced to cancel his upcoming stand-up shows in Scotland this week, due to ill health. The popular comedian, 39, took to his Instagram Stories to break the news and issue a heartfelt apology, as he admitted he was too unwell to perform. His was set to take his comedy tour, Giraffe, to Aberdeen Music Hall and Edinburgh Playhouse this week, but explained the gigs have now been rescheduled for January next year. In his statement, Rob penned: 'Hello everyone, I'm so sorry but I'm not well and can't do the shows in Scotland this week. 'Aberdeen has been rescheduled to Wednesday 14th Jan 20206 and Edinburgh has been rescheduled to Thursday 15th Jan 2026. The venue will be in touch but tickets remain valid for both shows.' He concluded: 'I hate doing this, but I'm not well enough to give you the best show possible, but I look forward to seeing you all at the new shows.' The Celebs Go Dating star is taking the next couple of months off from the tour, before recommencing in Liverpool in September, with shows in Sheffield, Southend, Buxton, Oxford, Belfast, Derry and Dublin. The following month, Rob is jetting off Down Under, with shows across Australia and New Zealand, before returning to the UK for dates in Leicester, Coventry, Halifax, Newcastle, Hull, Bristol, Nottingham and Eastbourne. While the star will continued the Giraffe tour in the new year, with the rescheduled Scotland shows being followed by gigs in Dubai, Brighton and London. However, after wrapping up the mammoth tour, Rob has revealed that he is quitting stand up touring to prioritise spending time with his children. He is the proud dad of two daughters with his wife Louise, whose names and faces he keeps private, despite being incredibly open about the highs and lows of parenthood on his podcast Parenting Hell with co-host Josh Widdicombe. And in March, he admitted to The Sun that he wanted to put touring on pause until his two daughters were all grown up. Rob said: 'I'll still do stand up and local clubs and charity gigs but I'm going to take a break from touring until the kids are 16/17. 'Then I'll do a big tour when they're sixth form and when they go to Uni, me and Lou are going to spend Feb and March in Australia bumming around.' Revealing another of his ambitions for the future, he added: 'When I'm 50 I want to do a psychology degree.' Meanwhile, Rob also quit his Sunday afternoon show on Radio 2 in April, after taking over from the late Paul O'Grady in 2022. Following a schedule shake-up, which saw him regularly swapping with Rob, Paul quit in August 2022 when he was told to share his duties with a younger presenter. He admitted at the time that he left the station because he 'wasn't really happy with the 13 weeks on, 13 weeks off business'. It came after a push by Radio 2 to attract younger listeners by recruiting younger talent sparked an ageism row and triggered an exodus of older talent including Ken Bruce. Rob had been hosting the 5pm-7pm slot every week since, until he announced he was stepping away from the show in February, but added that he will remain part of the BBC Radio 2 family. He explained: 'I've had such a laugh each Sunday getting to know the listeners, but as my tour schedule hots up and my family forget what I look like, I've decided to step away from a weekly show. 'But you won't get away from me that easily as I'll be back presenting shows on Radio 2 later in the year when normal service is resumed!' Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2, added: 'I'd like to thank Rob for his brilliant work every Sunday evening. He'll stay within the Radio 2 family and will be heard on the station at a later date.'

Laura Anderson reveals two unexpected Islanders she still speaks to despite feud on show
Laura Anderson rose to fame on Love Island in 2018 and still speaks to a few of her fellow Islanders but it's not who you would expect. While the current dramatic series of Love Island airs, it often gets viewers reminiscing about past seasons of the iconic show which has now been running for ten years. Previous years on the show have been notoriously messy, filled with juicy arguments, meltdowns and shocking backstabbing betrayals. However, there is something about the chaotic antics of Harry Cooksley and the baffling dishonesty of Yasmin Pettet which is so similar to the older seasons of the show. One particular drama filled season came in Love Island 2018. Many memorable stars rose to fame during that year's series including Wes Nelson, Megan Barton-Hanson, Georgia 'I'm Loyal Babe' Steele, Adam Collard and the beloved Dr Alex George. It was also in that same year that Laura Anderson left behind her air hostess job and became a big star in Scotland. Since her stint on the ITV dating show, Laura has remained very much in the spotlight. The Scots star went on to star on Celebs Go Dating where she met her ex-boyfriend and Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy, who she now shares her one-year-old daughter Bonnie with. She also previously had a role on Capital FM as a radio host before she left in February this year. Now 36-years-old and as a mum-of-one, Laura has grown up a lot since her Love Island days, but in a new interview with Closer she has revealed that there are actually still quite a few Islanders she keeps in contact with over seven years on from the show. When asked if she still chats to anyone from her series, she said: "Adam [Collard] and Kaz Crossley are the main ones that I WhatsApp." Her response was surprising given the fact Laura and Kaz did not get on inside the villa. In fact, Kaz even revealed on her stint on spin off show Love Island: All Stars earlier this year that she and the Scots star had three arguments on the show and one of them wasn't even aired. However, by the sounds of it, any feud the pair had between them is now cleared up as they are currently very much close friends Laura went on to say Kaz is keen to meet her daughter as she said: "Kaz wants to come up and see Bonnie". The mum-of-one added that she is also friends with another Islander from a different series. She said: "I speak to Olivia Bowen but she's not from my series". Olivia, who starred on season two of the show in 2016, is the definition of a Love Island legend with a success story. She married fellow Islander, Alex Bowen in 2018, just over two years after meeting him on the show. The couple are now proud parents to their son Abel and are expecting their second child together. Laura, who did not find long term love on the show but is currently loved up with Scots boyfriend Clarke Robertson, added:" I'm friends with everyone when I see them at events."
