She said: "Listen, I'm so sorry but my show ain't ready.
"We've tried absolutely everything we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you but we've been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and Covid.
"Half my team, half my crew are hit by Covid, they still are and it's been impossible to finish the show and I can't give you what I have right now and I'm gutted.
"I'm sorry it's so last minute, we've been awake for over 30 hours now trying to figure it out and we've run out of time and I'm so upset and I'm really embarrassed.”
Wiping away tears she added: "I'm so sorry to everyone that's travelled again, I'm really really sorry.
"We're on it we're going to reschedule all of the dates and I'm going to finish the show and get it to where it needs to be for you.
"All dates will be rescheduled, more info coming soon."
