Janet Street-Porter announces 2025 tour including south dates
Janet Street-Porter, one of Loose Women's most outspoken panellists, has announced her biggest solo tour to date for 2025.
The tour, titled 'Janet Street-Porter Is Off The Leash', will be her first since 2006.
It will begin on September 11 at The Kenton in Henley-On-Thames and will conclude on April 1, 2026, at the Halifax Playhouse.
The tour will see Ms Street-Porter sharing her colourful life experiences, from her childhood to her successful career as a broadcaster, television executive, and newspaper editor.
She will also be discussing her current life, complete with a senior railcard and four ex-husbands.
The show promises to be a mix of comedy, tragedy, and gossip, as she delivers a "tour de force rant against growing old gracefully".
Ms Street-Porter said: "This show will be pretty cathartic for me - a deep dive into the subjects that can be hard to chat about truthfully on live television - from my tormented relationship with my mum to what really happens when a relationship runs out of steam.
"I'll be brutally honest about the highs and lows of a helter-skelter life well lived.
"And it's not over yet!"
The audience will also have the opportunity to ask Janet questions about her life.
Ms Street-Porter has had a successful career in journalism and television, having won numerous awards including Columnist of the Year, the Prix Italia for arts programming, and a BAFTA for originality.

‘Bake Off' Champion Presenter Nadiya Hussain Announces On Social Media The BBC Have Axed Cookery Series
One of the BBC's best known TV chefs has announced that her cookery show has been cancelled by the broadcaster. Nadiya Hussain – a former champion on popular TV baking competition The Great British Bake Off – has made several series for the BBC, including Nadiya Bakes, Nadiya's Fast Flavours and Nadiya's Simple Spices.

And for me, that was a huge turning point because it's something I've done for the past 10 years. 'I was already on this steady trajectory of change and I was thinking about where I wanted my career to go, and when the BBC decided they didn't want to commission the show anymore, it really did kind of solidify everything for me, and it made me dig my heels in and think 'OK, I know where I want to be'.' BBC News website quotes a spokesperson for the broadcaster confirming: 'After several wonderful series we have made the difficult decision not to commission another cookery show with Nadiya Hussain at the moment.' The statement continued: 'Nadiya remains a much-valued part of the BBC family, and we look forward to working together on future projects.' Hussain's other series for the BBC have included Nadiya's Everyday Baking and Nadiya's Cook Once Eat Twice, as well as the documentary Nadiya: Anxiety and Me. Since her victory on The Great British Bake Off in 2015, Hussain has become one of the UK's most familiar cooking figures, including baking a cake to celebrate HM The Queen's 90th birthday, and writing books alongside her TV work. In the video she posted where she outlined difficulties of being a Muslim woman on screen, Hussain said she was moving in a 'positive direction', adding: 'I'm working on some new things, but for me it's about being my most authentic self, and working with people who believe my voice has a platform, and believing in my talent.'

Trump Vs Musk Gets BBC ‘Have I Got News For You' Treatment After Meltdown Occurs During Recording
EXCLUSIVE: It was the bust-up that was long predicted, but spectacular nonetheless. Donald Trump and Elon Musk's steady separation suddenly went thermonuclear on Thursday, with the former MAGA mates exchanging Molotovs across two social media platforms. Deadline hears that the fireworks broke out as Hat Trick Productions was recording the final episode in the current season of BBC comedy series Have I Got News For You. Cameras were about to be shut down for the night when producers decided to throw the Trump-Musk meltdown at presenter Richard Ayoade and teams led by Ian Hislop and Paul Merton. More from Deadline Kim Kardashian Robbery Spotlighted In BBC Three Doc; Canal+ & Netflix Partner In Sub-Saharan Africa; 'Jaws' Documentary - Global Briefs BBC Content Chief Latest: Race To Replace Charlotte Moore Nears Final Two, As Zai Bennett Drops Out & New Candidates Emerge Late Night Hosts Take On Trump-Musk Feud: "Vader Turns On The Emperor Again" Have I Got News For You is always filmed up to the wire to maintain its topicality, but it's rare that producers toss a breaking news story into the mix. We hear that Trump vs Musk will feature towards the end of the show, with Merton and Hislop offering their typically withering commentary on events in the U.S. Their teammates on the night were comedian Jack Dee and Kelly Cates, one of the new presenters of Premier League highlights show Match of the Day. Have I Got News For You will air at 9PM on BBC1 on Friday. The timing was somewhat auspicious given that the show is about to bow out for its 69th season. HIGNFY first launched in the UK in 1990 and continues to attract around 3M viewers, often making it BBC1's most-watched show of the day. Hat Trick Productions, run by Jimmy Mulville, has recently established Have I Got News for You on CNN in America. Filming has concluded on Season 2, and CNN has renewed the comedy show for a third run, which will begin screening in September. Hosted by Roy Wood Jr., along with team captains Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black, the show was ultimately greenlit by Mark Thompson, who is entwined in the history of Have I Got News for You, having served as the BBC's director general. Mulville would have loved for the Musk-Trump imbroglio to play out while the CNN series was in production, but for now, he will have to make do with the story gatecrashing the UK show.
