An iconic TV star has announced her first ever live show – and she’s set to kick things off in Bolton later this year.

Jane Boulton will be a familiar face to anyone who watched ITV’s popular series Airline, which ran between 1998 and 2007. Appearing on four seasons of the documentary-style series, Jane was known for her quick wit and no-nonsense approach to customers at Luton AIrport.

In recent years, clips of her time on the show have resurfaced on social media garnering millions of views on TikTok and earning the reputation of ‘queen of the check-in’. She has also made appearances at gay clubs and even has her own line of merchandise following her stint on TV.

Now the former easyJet operations manager has announced she will be touring the UK later this year with An Audience with Jane Boulton – which is being billed as an intimate evening filled with honest conversations, hilarious anecdotes and plenty of surprises.
