Must read

Jonathan Ross was seen putting on a spooky show for trick-of-treating children at his home in London on Thursday night. 

The presenter, 63, who is well-known for putting on a lavish annual Halloween bash – famous for welcoming a whole host of celebrities – hasn’t hosted them since the pandemic and revealed he has stopped them due to his daughter Betty’s health. 

Jonathan instead was seen giving out sweets to children at his elaborately decorated home which featured skulls, cobwebs, and a number of performers.

Spooky red lights were projected on to the Halloween characters to give the driveway an eerie touch, while huge pumpkins had also been placed outside.

Families could be seen lining up outside the property as they eagerly awaited their chance to get involved with the scary festivities.

The ITV star donned white face paint and green dyed eyebrows as he greeted kids along with performers dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood, a wolf and a clown. 

It comes after Jonathan revealed the sweet reason he has now cancelled his star-studded party which was previously attended by the likes of Dame Joan Collins, Holly Willoughby, Nicole Scherzinger, Alan Carr, Rita Ora and Michael McIntyre

Jonathan revealed he would not be inviting any celebrities to his home once again out of consideration for his daughter Betty, 33, and her battle with fibromyalgia, a condition causing muscle pain and tenderness.

Jonathan, who also shares Harvey, 29, and Honey, 26, with wife Jane Goldman opened up on Good Morning Britain. 

He explained: ‘One of our children isn’t well… it’s fibromyalgia which is quite debilitating. She’s back home with us and we’re looking after her. 

‘My daughter, we thought she had Long Covid but discovered that she had fibromyalgia, so we want to be conscious of that and not have so much noise when she’s upstairs.’

Jonathan’s daughter Betty previously shared the news about her diagnosis on Instagram, writing: ‘Fibromyalgia? I hardly know her. This is me letting y’all know I got a Fibromyalgia diagnosis. 

‘Shout out to the four people who all said they thought I had fibro, turns out y’all were right. There’s always a lot of weird feelings that come with a new diagnosis, but this one overall feels like a relief.

‘It feels like my pain being acknowledged, and that with this diagnosis I can better find ways of managing my pain.’

The party was cancelled for two years – in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic and the following year because his daughter Betty was struggling with fibromyalgia.

When it returned in October 2022, it was held at Camden nightspot KOKO for the first time instead of Jonathan’s famous home.

Spice Girl Mel C, Katherine Ryan, Wallis Day, Joel Dommett and his model wife Hannah Cooper and Charli Howard were also among the star-studded guest list at the bash last year. 

WHAT IS FIBROMYALGIA?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition defined by widespread pain and fatigue.

It affects up to 2.7 per cent of people worldwide, with three women suffering for every one man, studies suggest.

Fibromyalgia is often triggered by a trauma, such as a car accident or childbirth, as well as infections. Why this occurs is unclear.

The discomfort tends to be felt as aches and burning from head-to-toe.

And the fatigue ranges from feeling sleepy to the exhaustion of having the flu.

Severe sufferers are often unable to work or socialise. 

The pain can be worse at some times than others and may change location, such as becoming more severe in parts of the body that are used the most.

Other symptoms can include headaches; IBS; diarrhoea or constipation; poor concentration; dizziness; allergies and stimuli sensitivity, such as to light or heat.

Studies suggest the average patient waits five years to be diagnosed, which is thought to be due to X-rays and other medical tests not picking the condition up.

It is generally defined as pain that lasts for more than three months and affects 11 or more out of 18 tender points when pressed.

Treatment aims to relieve pain and aid sleep.
