Anthea Turner postpones 'Housewife' shows

Anthea Turner's spokesperson has denied that the TV star's postponement of her Perfect Housewife theatre tour is down to poor ticket sales.

According to the Daily Mail, the 49-year-old's show at the Preston Charter Theatre, which was scheduled for April, was suffering from lack of interest. The newspaper alleges that only two tickets were sold at the 780-seat theatre. It also claims that only 52 seats had been booked for a show at the 200-capacity Guildhall Theatre in Grantham.

The production was billed as a "fascinating and entertaining evening with TV's Anthea Turner", which promised to reveal "the secrets of being the perfect housewife".

However, Turner's manager Michael Joyce rubbished allegations that a lack of ticket sales was behind the postponement.

"The show has been postponed because Anthea has got involved with a North American TV show and had to fly out at short notice. It was not because of poor ticket sales," he said.

The show's producers Clive Conway Celebrity Productions added: "Unfortunately Anthea had to cancel this live show due to other commitments. I don't have any information regarding rescheduling the event at the moment."

Does any woman honestly want to be the 'perfect housewife' Is there such a thing even I'm not surprised there was poor ticket sales.
