Rob, who is known by reality TV fans for being the hilarious narrator of Celebs Go Dating, took to Instagram to share the sad news.
In a heartfelt message, he penned to fans: “Hello everyone, I’m so sorry but I’m not well and can’t do the shows in Scotland this week.
“Aberdeen has been rescheduled to Wednesday 14th Jan 20206 and Edinburgh has been rescheduled to Thursday 15th Jan 2026.
“The venue will be in touch but tickets remain valid for both shows.
“I hate doing this, but I’m not well enough to give you the best show possible, but I look forward to seeing you all at the new shows.”
STEP BACK FROM STAND-UP
It comes after Rob recently told The Sun how he plans to step back from stand-up tours temporarily.
The comedian has been touring for years, but now wants to take a break to focus on his young family.
Speaking to us in March, the comedian said: “I’ll still do stand up and local clubs and charity gigs but I’m going to take a break from touring until the kids are 16/17.
“Then I’ll do a big tour when they’re sixth form and when they go to Uni, me and Lou are going to spend Feb and March in Australia bumming around.
“When I’m 50 I want to do a psychology degree.”

Rob started doing stand-up comedy back in 2009 and won four competitions in his first year.
He made his debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2012, with his first solo show – Rob Beckett’s Summer Holiday.
Since then he has become a household name and has a string of TV shows under his belt, as well as sell out tours.
The Essex funnyman married wife Louise in 2015 and they have two daughters together.
