Coronavirus: Comedian Chris Ramsey forced to cancel sell-out tour amid outbreak

Chris Ramsey has been left gutted after being forced to cancel his sell-out tour due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The comedian, 33, took to his Instagram last night to confirm the news, saying he was "so sorry" to have to postpone his upcoming shows.

The government has advised the public to avoid mass gatherings, forcing many gig venues to temporarily close while the virus sweeps across the country.

Chris posted the meme of Jason Momoa sneaking up on Henry Cavill to reveal how he felt about the concerts getting cancelled.

Over the picture of Jason it said "Coronavirus" and written on Henry was "My biggest ever stand up tour, sold out in advance. All written and ready to go."

"This is due to venues temporarily closing, as per latest government advice

"We're working hard to get these rescheduled and those of you who have tickets will be offered the new dates as we confirm them.
