SIR BILLY CONNOLLY IS READY TO ANSWE YOUR QUESTIONS



Sir Billy Connolly will be holding a Question and Answer sessions with his fans around the world as part of his new book promotion.

The Scots comedy legend recently wrote his bestselling autobiography, Windswept & Interesting which sold more than 230,000 copies within its first month of sale.

And to celebrate, next week he plans to give fans some of his precious time to talk about his life.

Billy will chat with writer and broadcaster Damian Barr across his own Facebook and Waterstones Facebook on December 8 at 7:30pm.

The event is FREE and fans can put in their questions via the hashtag #AskBilly on social media from now.

Waterstones’ audience development manager Will Rycroft said: "After the joy of sharing Billy's brilliant autobiography with readers we’re thrilled to be able to bring them together with the man himself for this unique event.

"That word unique is often overused but feels entirely fitting here, and we’re already intrigued to hear what answers we might get on the night."

Billy who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2013 turned 79 last week and fans will be keen to see him after he received birthday greetings from around the globe.

Billy has always been a favourite of theshowbizlion.com and we’ve met him in numerous occasions throughout the years. 

His candour and sincerity shine through and the Q and A promises to be fun for all fans.

CORONATION STREET ACTRESS HELEN FLANAGAN AND STYLIST JAY BIRMINGHAM AT GLAM SQUAD



HELEN Flanagan has revealed that her best pal celebrity hairdresser Jay Birmingham styles her from his phone. 
Helen couldn’t wait to get her jammies on and watch Love Island Reunion after putting on the style at Glasgow’s Glamsquad event on Sunday. 
The Corrie star and model was thrilled after her best friend Jay Birmingham presented a slot at the hair, make up and style show in Glasgow’s SWG3.
Helen said: “Jay is one of my best friends and he did absolutely amazing hosting Glamsquad which is one of the biggest events in Glasgow.
Jay said: “ There’s no other event of this kind that has so much talent on stage in one day. Helen and I met on Birmingham about seven years ago. Helen took me under her wing and I showed her the lights of Birmingham.”
Helen added: “Now Jay takes me under his wing.”
Jay joked: “I am Helens stylist, hairstylist, therapist, lifecoach.”
Helen said: “If I am ever stuck about what to wear I always WhatsApp Jay loads and and he send me the links.”



Helen and Jay attended the event alongside Alexis Stone, Polly Marchant, Reuben de Made and Tatti Lashes. 
Jay said: “People are going less glam now and going more natural, wearing their hair a bit messy, with tracksuit bottoms. People go to events on tracksuits now. I think times are changing now.”
The two besties were planning a comfy night in following their glam day at the venue. 
Jay laughed: “We’re going to the rathole now. I’m staying at Helen’s house and I’m having my own bedroom this time.”



Helen added: “We’re just going to chill because Jay will be exhausted after this event. We’re going to put on comfies and watch Love Island.
