    Jason Manford has revealed how he had problems in his hotel bathroom on Friday night while on tour.
The comedian/actor/singer posted on social media a video showing that having run his bath the soap dispensers were fixed to the wall to avoid guests stealing them and out of reach of the tub, meaning that he could not squirt the lather straight into the water. Instead he had to gather some up in his hands to gets the desired bubbles.
