Jonathan Ross transforms his home into a spooky spectacular – after Traitors star cancelled legendary Halloween bash because of daughter Betty’s health

by

Jonathan Ross decorated his home to create a spooky Halloween experience for trick-or-treaters in London on Friday.

Al Mackin, 64, a contestant on The Traitors who was recently eliminated, hasn’t held his famous Halloween parties since the pandemic began and doesn’t plan to resume them.

Jonathan revealed he stop hosting the annual bash because of his daughter Betty’s health.

Instead, Jonathan puts on a spooky show at his elaborately decorated home for families to pass by.

As preparations began, trucks arrived with decorations like skulls and cobwebs, along with the people who would be performing.

The speaker mentioned that his party, known for attracting many celebrities, would be very expensive.

I was chatting with Ed Gamble on ‘The Traitors: Uncloaked’ recently, and Jonathan finally shared all the details about his legendary Halloween parties. They’re as amazing as you’d imagine!

He said: ‘I might do another one before I go, but they cost a fortune.’

It’s gotten to the point where I can’t even breathe without everyone asking if I’m planning a Halloween party! Seriously, anything I do, anything, and the first question is always about the party. It’s kind of amazing, honestly, that it’s become so famous, but wow, it’s a lot!

I only really knew about 30% of the adults I invited. While I enjoyed the company of everyone else, I hadn’t actually met them before.

Jonathan’s party was previously attended by celebrities including Dame Joan Collins, Holly Willoughby, Nicole Scherzinger, Alan Carr, Rita Ora, and Michael McIntyre.

Mel C from the Spice Girls, comedian Katherine Ryan, actress Wallis Day, Joel Dommett and his wife Hannah Cooper (who is a model), and Charli Howard were all guests at the event.

Jonathan explained he’s decided not to host any celebrities at his house again, wanting to protect his daughter Betty, 34, who struggles with fibromyalgia, a painful condition affecting her muscles.

Jonathan, who has three children – Harvey, 31, and Honey, 29 – with his wife, Jane Goldman, explained last year why he decided to call off a party.

He shared that one of their children is unwell, diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which is a very limiting condition. She’s currently staying with them while they care for her.

We initially believed our daughter had Long Covid, but she was actually diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Because of this, we’re trying to keep things quiet when she’s upstairs.

Jonathan’s daughter, Betty, recently announced on Instagram that she’s been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. She playfully wrote, ‘Fibromyalgia? I hardly know her!’ to share the news.

Thanks to the four people who guessed I might have fibromyalgia – it turns out they were right! Getting a diagnosis always brings up a lot of emotions, but overall, this one feels like a weight off my shoulders.

Finally understanding what’s causing my pain feels validating, and this diagnosis will help me find better ways to cope with it.

The party was cancelled for two years running. It couldn’t happen in 2020 because of the Covid pandemic, and the following year because his daughter, Betty, was dealing with fibromyalgia.

In October 2022, the event moved to the KOKO nightclub in Camden, marking a change from its previous location at Jonathan’s home.
