"The support I’ve always had from the North East is unreal, in stand up and my dancing career.
"The tour rolls on around the north in the coming weeks at Doncaster, Stafford, Salford, Bradford, Hull and Halifax and Blackburn.
"Some of them have a few tickets left, have a look on my website if you fancy it.”
"Once again, big love Newcastle. Thanks for an epic night!"
