Steve Coogan pulls out of Alan Partridge show in Cardiff hours before it starts due to illness

Alan Partridge creator Steve Coogan has pulled out of his final Cardiff show hours before it was due to start. The comedian and actor - who has embodied the character for over 30 years - has performed in the Welsh capital for the last two nights as he tours his latest show Alan Partridge Live: Stratagem.

However, it was announced hours before his final show at the Motorpoint Arena on Saturday, May 21 that he was pulling out of the performance due to illness. The show has now been postponed until a later date.

In a tweet, the venue said: "Due to illness, Steve Coogan is unable to perform tonight. The show is postponed. Please retain your tickets until further notice."
