And in even better news for Ricky’s accountant, the Reading-born comic is on the road to double his wealth thanks to a huge new tour, Armageddon.

This year I revealed Ricky, who also created hit Netflix series After Life, took a staggering £1.4million from a single night in the US.

His gig at the Hollywood Bowl on May 6 broke the record for the highest-grossing single performance ever by a British stand-up comedian.

Given it’s more than likely Ricky’s success will continue across the globe, he will be absolutely raking it in.

He begins the UK leg of the tour in Birmingham on September 4 and will then play 17 shows across the country, including Bristol, Brighton and ten nights at the London Palladium.

Lend us a fiver, Ricky. I don’t think you’ll miss it.

Hats off to Maya on party island

MAYA JAMA’s living it up in Ibiza after completing Love Island hosting duties.

She spent eight weeks jetting back and forth to Majorca for the show but didn’t mind hopping on a plane yet again.

She posed in this bikini and bucket hat in a mirror selfie, ahead of her 29th birthday on Monday.

Old habits die hard though. Maya was out at D10 nightclub on the White Isle on Monday, where her ex-flame Leonardo DiCaprio also happened to be partying.

In a tongue-in-cheek reference to her star sign, and possibly the actor, she posted an Instagram story yesterday with a road sign that read: “Parking for Leo’s only. All others will be towed.”

What could you mean by that, Maya?

Geri’s role races past

GERI HORNER is in her new movie for less than three minutes.

The Spice Girls singer, who first appeared on the big screen 26 years ago in the group’s film Spice World, was cast in racing flick Gran Turismo to much fanfare.

But any fans booking tickets especially to see her may be disappointed, as she is only in a handful of scenes.

Thankfully though, she rubs shoulders with Hollywood heavyweights including Orlando Bloom and David Harbour, so fair play to her.

The movie adaptation of the hit video game is based on the true story of Jann Mardnborough, who went on to become a professional racing car driver after winning a Nissan-sponsored Gran Turismo competition.

The film is much better than I expected.

But you will have to wait a little longer to see it, after the release was put back to August 25.

lN-DUBZ singer Tulisa Contostavlos hasn’t had a sex life for two years because she refuses to jump into bed with anyone until they are exclusive.

On The Zeze Millz Show, she said: “I don’t date, I court. I have been celibate for the past two years, so no sex before monogamy.

“So basically, you are courting because you like to build friendships before you start dating, you just don’t s*** them and you get to know them.”

Tulisa, right, added: “I have got friendships that I am building.”


Check out Ice’s honour

ICE SPICE has been rewarded for being one of music’s top new talents.

In the past six months, the US rapper has had a No2 hit with Pinkpantheress collaboration Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2, teamed up with Taylor Swift on a version of her song Karma and recorded Barbie World with Nicki Minaj.

Accepting the prize, she said: “This is so crazy. This is, like, my first award ever.”

David’s one hol of a guy

 DAVID HAYE and his girlfriend Sian Osborne are on yet another holiday, this time jetting off to Greece.

The former boxer, who was previously in a throuple with model Sian and singer Una Healy, welcomed in the year in Marrakech and then spent the best part of two months in Costa Rica.

They returned to the UK, where they lay low for a while, but now they are back on their travels.

Last month David flew off on holiday in Mykonos with his pal Dizzee Rascal and has now been joined by Sian in the town of Ermioni.

No go for Lizzo and Jay-Z gig

LIZZO’s only upcoming concert has been cancelled due to “circumstances outside of production control” – amid the sexual harassment lawsuit brought against her by three dancers.

The Special singer had been due to headline Jay-Z’s Made In America festival in Philadelphia at the start of September. But the whole event has now been binned.

A statement on the festival’s Instagram page said: “Due to severe circumstances outside of production control, the 2023 Made In America festival will no longer be taking place.

“This decision has been difficult and has not been made lightly, nor without immense deliberation.”

The two-day festival was to have taken place a month after a series of claims were made against Lizzo. She has denied the “false allegations”, and called them “outrageous”.

A Grande return?

ARIANA GRANDE has hinted at her first live performance in more than two years to mark a decade in music.

She released debut album Yours Truly in August 2013 and has shared photos on social media of sheet music for the tracks Baby I, Tattooed Heart and Daydreamin’, along with images of her singing with a band.

Alongside the snaps, she wrote: “Almost ten…..”

I can see why she might want to put the focus back on music, following stories about the breakdown of her marriage and a new relationship with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.

Forget the old tunes, she has plenty of things to inspire new tracks.

Miley reheats Bangerz

MILEY CYRUS is reissuing her album Bangerz for its tenth anniversary.

I can’t quite believe the controversial record came out that long ago.
