Bruce Jones fails to sell any tickets for pub gig

Ex-Corrie actor Bruce Jones, who played Les Battersby, hit a new career low when fans snubbed his “audience with” show, says The Mirror.

Bruce had hoped to spill the beans to 200 people on his 10 years on the cobbles. But no tickets for the event at the Chilton Country Pub near Chester-le-Street, County Durham, were sold. And only one person made a phone enquiry about the £18.50 gig, that included a meal.

A spokeswoman said: “It had to be cancelled. We are not sure why tickets did not sell. We are normally fully booked.”
