Loose Women star to take the stage at Harrogate Theatre

Thursday, 12 November 2026 at 15:03

Janet Street-Porter is bringing her solo tour to Harrogate.

Janet Street-Porter will bring her 80th birthday tour to Harrogate Theatre next year.

The Loose Women panellist will share stories from her childhood with a Welsh-speaking budgie and her career in television as part of her biggest solo tour to date, Janet Street-Porter Is Still Off the Leash at 80!

Street-Porter will also talk about her relationship with her mother and how she feels about growing older.

Audience members will have the chance to ask her questions.

Janet Street-Porter said:

“Hold on to your hats! This show will be pretty cathartic for me - a deep dive into the subjects that can be hard to chat about truthfully on live television - from my tormented relationship with my mum to what really happens when a relationship runs out of steam.

"I'll be brutally honest about the highs and lows of a helter skelter life well lived. And it's not over yet!”

Street-Porter began her career as a columnist and fashion editor before becoming a television presenter and senior BBC executive.

She has written two memoirs, Baggage and Fall Out, and was awarded a CBE in 2016 for services to the media.

Janet Street-Porter Is Still Off the Leash at 80! is heading to Harrogate Theatre on Monday 1st February 2027.
