Earlier the See Tickets website showed that the dates had been cancelled.

Yesterday, ITV decided not to commission a second series of comedian Dapper Laughs' show, following a series of complaints.

The broadcaster has received 29 complaints from the public since first airing and an online petition to stop a second series being commissioned has garnered over 50,000 signatories.
