Tim Peake's Darlington show postponed last-minute after taking ill as fans devastated

Fans of astronaut Tim Peake shared their disappointment and concern at the sudden cancellation of his show in Darlington on Friday night after he took ill.

The popular astronaut - the first Brit to carry out a spacewalk at the International Space Station - had been set to talk about his life and work during a tour stop-off with his show My Journey To Space. But soon before he was due to take to the stage at Darlington Hippodrome, the show was abruptlcancelled.

Among the responses to the news on the theatre's Facebook page was one which said: "What’s frustrating is that we were only told of the cancellation four-and-a-half hours before the performance was due to start. I live four hours away so a bit more notice could have avoided an eight hour wasted journey."
