Katherine Ryan has extended the tour of her latest show, Glam Role Model, into 2015 due to popular demand.

The final instalment of the Luke McQueen trilogy finds the hapless comedian lobbed into the world of Love Island-style reality TV when he becomes the subject of his very own Bachelor-style show, The Luke of Love, handily abbreviated to LOL.

In the past it has been coats-on cold inside the cavernous tented venue, but this year a combination of full house, lively acts and maybe some extra heating seemed to deliver the perfect storm of a great night.
The new series of Live at the Apollo looks set to feature the most diverse line-up yet.
