TICKETS are on sale for TV legend Des O'Connor's show, which arrives at The Mayflower in Southampton on June 26.

The popular chat-show co-host, who has won almost every TV award at least once, is visiting the theatre as part of his 13 date UK tour, and is being supported by The Ray Monk Sound.

O'Connor has had a long and successful career, with The Des O'Connor Show being broadcast worldwide and forming the platform for many famous modern comedians, such as Jay Lenno and Jerry Seinfield, as well as being the first programme to introduce The Muppets to the UK.

He's interviewed a host of global stars including Mel Gibson, Will Smith - and even Tony Blair.

His current show, Today with Des and Mel, which he co-hosts with Melanie Sykes, has won a host of awards for best daytime TV show, and carries on Des's proud record of starring in his own prime-time TV show every year since 1963.

On top of this he has also produced 34 records, with 15 million sales, and has spent 117 weeks in the Top 10 of the charts. Not bad for a former Redcoat at Butlins!

Tickets £18. Box office: 023 8071 1811.
