The actress and activist will entertain audiences with ‘some never heard before stories’ from her career when the tour begins in October next year and comes to Portsmouth on Sunday, November 4.

‘The thought of this tour... has completely taken over my waking hours,’ she said.

‘It’s utterly thrilling to start planning the stories I can tell, and the rapture (and gratitude, to be fair) with which I shall greet the audiences.’

‘Nothing like this has come my way before, and I may have to be dragged off with a hook at the end of each show. Oh people! This is especially for you from me, with masses of love. I think it will be fabulous.’

Lumley will be joined on stage by friend and producer Clive Tulloh, who will put questions from the audience to her.

The 30-date tour, which begins on October 6 at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall, includes dates in Glasgow, Blackpool, Sheffield, Leeds, London and Brighton.
