A new show has been announced for 2021 which will bring a host of familiar TV faces to the North East.
Lunch & Laughs Live! is set tour the UK next autumn with a line-up featuring Zoe Tyler, Carol McGiffin, Lisa Maxwell, Claire Sweeney, Kate Thornton and Rustie Lee.
And it brings with it a chance to meet the women who are known for the likes of TV-AM, Loose Women, The X Factor, The Bill, Brookside and top West End shows.
The show is billed as an afternoon of fun, friendship and fizz, with audiences starting off the day-time event enjoying a glass of sparkling wine.
During what promises to be an afternoon of stories, celebrity secrets, gossip, music and laughter, they also will be able to join in the star-studded conversation - and put the special guests on the spot - as there will be a light-hearted question-and-answer session too.
And a VIP ticket option is available too, which will include an exclusive meet-and-greet with the celebrity panel and seats at the front by the stage.
The Lunch & Laughs tour will launch on September 3 at Hilton Newcastle Gateshead, which has been picked as one of just 12 hotels across Britain to play host to the event.
TV presenter, singer and West-End leading lady Zoe Tyler will be taking part in all the shows - which are aimed at over-18s - otherwise the line-up will vary between locations but will include four out of the six celebrities.
Tyler said of the event: "Lunch, a show, live music with my friends - it doesn’t get better than that right now.
"I wanted to bring something new for next year that has many elements, everything we’ve all missed greatly in these past months: laughter, song, stories, friendship and a glass of fizz!"
She added: "We can’t wait and we’re sure everyone will have a great day out."
After Newcastle, the tour will take in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Brighton, Stoke, Lincoln, Glasgow, Kilmarnock, Dunblane, Belfast, Cardiff and Birmingham.
Tickets, £50, are on sale now and include fizz on arrival, a two-course lunch followed by coffee and a sweet treat, plus a goody bag for everyone. The VIP tickets cost £60. See here.
