His 2023 show, Who Do You Think You Are? I Am! sold out before the Edinburgh Fringe even began and went on to become a 138-date international tour, selling 30,000 tickets across the UK, Ireland, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and Canada.
During that tour, one of his shows was cancelled after counter-terrorism police were contacted about one of his Instagram posts, an event the comedian is set to explore in his new Edinburgh Fringe show this year.
Angelone also recently filmed his second stand-up special at Glasgow's Oran Mor, which is set for release soon.
He has previously supported comedians such as Russell Howard, Michael Che, Ivo Graham, and Adam Rowe, and co-hosts the podcast Mike & Vittorio's Guide to Parenting with fellow comedian Mike Rice.
He is also the co-creator of the YouTube series Fin vs The Internet, featuring guests like Jamie Laing and JaackMaate.

During his new tour, Angelone will explore his Northern Irish upbringing, the legacy of The Troubles, and the pressures facing comedians in an era of intense debate about offence and activism in comedy.
Angelone's next run at the Edinburgh Fringe is already sold out, with additional late-night shows added at Underbelly's McEwan Hall on August 8 and 22, 2025, due to high demand.
Tickets for the Glasgow date and the rest of the UK tour are on sale now via Vittorio Angelone's official website.

Salvador Dalí painting bought for £150 at house clearance sale valued at £20-30,000
It is not a painting that screams it is a masterpiece by Salvador Dalí to the untrained eye. So when the unusual picture went up for auction in a house clearance sale in Cambridge two years ago, it attracted only two bidders – and sold for £150. Now, it has been valued at £20,000 to £30,000 after it was confirmed to be an illustration of an 'old sultan' that Dalí painted in 1966. Vecchio Sultano, a mixed media artwork made with watercolour paint and felt-tip, is an illustration of a scene from The Arabian Nights – one of 500 illustrations the great surrealist artist intended to create of the Middle Eastern folktales. 'Dalí was quite obsessed with Moorish culture and believed himself to be from a Moorish line,' said Gabrielle Downie, a fine art specialist at Cheffins in Cambridge, which is selling the Dalí artwork on 23 October. Dalí's patrons, Giuseppe and Mara Albaretto, commissioned the illustrations and Rizzoli, an Italian publishing house, was planning to publish them. But Dalí abandoned the project after completing just 100 of the 500 illustrations – leaving all of them unpublished. 'Of these 100 illustrations, half remained with the publishing house Rizzoli and were either damaged or lost, while the other 50 stayed with the Albarettos and were later inherited by their daughter, Christina – who was also Dalí's goddaughter,' said Downie. The 50 illustrations retained by the Albaretto family were finally published in 2014, reigniting interest in the abandoned project and raising intrigue over the whereabouts of the unpublished pieces. However, the Cambridge-based antiques dealer John Russell (not his real name), 60, was unaware of this two years ago when he snapped up Vecchio Sultano at a house clearance sale after spotting Dalí's signature in the bottom right corner. 'The auction isn't online, so you turn up, view, and whatever you see, [that] is your chance to discover a treasure,' he said. 'Most of the time, I buy stuff that I like. On this occasion, I was really taking a bit of a punt, because I wasn't sure I'd have it on the wall, to be honest … I do like some unusual art, but you'd have to love it, wouldn't you?' He was told the painting had been found in the garage of a London house and could barely contain his excitement when he saw stickers on the back, indicating it had been listed in a Sotheby's auction in the 1990s. 'I did a little bit of research and I couldn't believe what I was looking at.' Russell decided to bid for it 'on the spur of the moment', gambling on his ability to spot a fake after spending years avidly watching the BBC TV show Fake or Fortune. 'It's one of my favourite programmes.' The painting, which depicts a bejewelled sultan, did not command widespread admiration: despite being described as an original painting by Dalí, the vendors 'hadn't even listed it with a reserve [price]', he said, and 'there was no interest in the room' from other dealers Russell knew. One person bid against him during the auction – and dropped out when Russell offered £150. A few months later, via eBay in the US, he tracked down the relevant Sotheby's sale catalogue, which listed the 38cm x 29cm painting and demonstrated it had been previously identified as Dalí's work and asked Cheffins to value it. Cheffins consulted the renowned Dalí expert Nicolas Descharnes, who certified the painting as authentic. He told the Guardian the style, subject and colours of the illustration matched those of other pieces in the series, along with the quality and size of the paper. 'People expect to see very surrealist pieces by Dalí. This one is not surrealist, but it's a Dalí,' Descharnes said.

Love Island continues on Tuesday night, July 29, after friends and family arrived in the villa. Fans have eagerly been waiting the moment Harry is confronted by Helena's mum and dad, following their shock split. Harry and Helena had become 'exclusive' in recent episodes.

Helena's mum Jasmine and dad Phil enter the villa in tonight's episode followed by Blu's mum Jeni and dad Reza. Helena becomes emotional as she is reunited with her parents. Referencing her relationship with Harry, Helena's dad Phil asks her, 'Is it the real deal what's being going on?' Helena replies, 'From my end, it was so genuine and so real.' Helena 's mum Jasmine comforts her and says, 'Helena, you're a winner.' 'He's not the prize," Helena responds. Meanwhile, Blu's mum Jeni and dad Reza reflect on his experience since returning to the villa. Reza jokes, 'You got rejected twice.' Jeni replies, 'You got pied!' Harry soon approaches Helena and her parents. Helena's dad Phil says, 'Ah the man himself.' Harry says, 'I just wanted to come and say to you both in person - I apologise for a lot of my behaviour towards your daughter.' How will Helena's parents react to Harry? Reuniting with their families, Angel's mum says to her, 'I'm so glad you swerved Harry.' Speaking about her being coupled up with Ty, Angel's mum asks: 'Is it too early to invite him for Sunday dinner?' Meanwhile, speaking about Angel to Ty, Ty's mum says, 'She's stunning!' Conor's cousins Cian and Dara arrive at the Villa, alongside Megan's mum Alison and aunty Gillian. Dara says to Conor, 'Your mum was asking for you. She's been watching every single episode.' Conor replies, 'Has she? She told me she wasn't watching so I've been acting like she wasn't watching!' Both families soon come together and Megan's mum Alison says, 'You come all the way to Love Island and meet someone Irish.' Conor's cousin jokes, ' 20 minutes over the road you could've went!' Megan's mum says, 'I'm happy. You look very, very happy.' Elsewhere on Tuesday night's episode, tensions rise in the 'couple goals' challenge. Yas receives a text which reads, 'Islanders. It's time to reveal what you really think of each other in today's challenge, couple goals! #SmilingButJudging #StandOnBusiness' Hosted by Meg and Dejon, today's game sees the pair read out questions which the Islanders will all answer in their couples about the other couples. When the Islanders are asked the question, 'Which couple would you not want to go on a city break with?' Blu and Helena choose Harry and Shakira. Blu says, 'We went with Harry and Shakira. I think we all know the reason why - Harry might want to wife swap again.' Harry isn't happy with Blu's comments and says to him, 'You're better than that.' But when the Islanders answer 'Which couple is most fake?', the mood turns even more sour. Harry and Shakira choose Blu and Helena. When giving their reasons, Helena interjects, 'That's a cop out mate.' Harry says, 'Hold on. Blu - after the conversation we had this morning and for you to say you don't want to go on a break because I'm going to wife swap, I think it is extremely fake.' Blu says, 'You've done it five times.' When it comes to Toni and Cach's answers, Toni says, 'We've gone with Meg and Dejon. I feel like every time there is an argument between us you love to throw out 'I thought we were friends' - I feel like there have been many situations where you two have not been friends to me.' Meg and Dejon choose Shakira and Harry. Meg says, 'I feel like Shakira, you've made some very hurtful comments to me that we're not very nice and I've always been there for you.' Shakira is left less than impressed and says to Harry, 'The gloves are off now.' Despite the girls putting their differences aside, it appears the divide is as deep as ever. Will the girls work through their issues?

Cat Deeley revealed she didn't want to renew wedding vows before Patrick Kielty split
Cat Deeley was previously asked whether she would renew her wedding vows prior to her split from Patrick Kielty and revealed exactly why it was never on her radar ITV presenter Cat Deeley had insisted she wouldn't renew her wedding vows with Patrick Kielty years before their shock split was announced. The TV duo revealed their marriage of 13 years is over in a statement on Tuesday. Despite the surprising news, Cat had previously said she had no intention to having a second wedding with her Northern Irish husband. Instead, she explained how for preparation to her big day she "barely even did my own wedding". Cat and Patrick tied the knot in 2012 in an intimate ceremony in Italy on September 29. She had previously been married to PR businessman Mark Whelan from 2001 until 2006. And speaking to Closer she revealed her thoughts. She explained how she didn't have much input into her second big day. Instead, she admitted she left the planning solely in Patrick's hands. She trusted him so much that she had never even seen her wedding venue, St Isidore's College in Rome, prior to her wedding ceremony. She added after being asked about potential renewing of vows: "I don't care, as long as everybody was there and had a good time – it doesn't bother me. "Plus, I'm quite lucky I get to dress up and have really special occasions all the time, so to me that wasn't the most exciting thing to happen." The couple initially met while hosting BBC 's Fame Academy together in 2002. However, at the time they were both in relationships. They only made their first public appearance as a couple nine years later in 2011 before tying the knot a year later. They share two children together. Announcing their split, their joint statement read: "We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved. 'We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment." It's unclear exactly when the couple split, but they had been spending time apart due to conflicting schedules in Ireland and London. The last time Cat referenced Patrick on her Instagram account came in October 2023 a month after their last public appearance. They had also seemed to be enjoying time together during a trip to Saint Tropez last summer. At one point during the day out at the beach in France, Cat looked loved up as the pair soaked up the sun and stood in the sea. The couple seemingly couldn't keep their hands off each other at the time, with the Irish comedian wrapping his hands around his wife's waist. However, in March this year, Cat missed husband Patrick's mum's funeral in Northern Ireland. At the time, a spokesperson told the Mirror that Cat had remained at home to care for their young sons Milo and James. They said: "Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day."
