Following on from successful events with Ray Parlour and Graham Poll in 2011, the New Year action will kick-off on Thursday March 29 with Ruddock appearing in The Pilgrim Lounge.

The 43-year-old will be joined by impressionist Les Gibson, who recently starred on Britain’s Got Talent.

Tickets for the event (each priced £35 plus VAT) are now on sale — but demand is set to be high, so please book early.
