Peel on your Lycra. The American hairdressing guru and TV favourite is coming back to the UK next February 2022 with a new show: Imaginary Living Room Olympian.

The star of the Emmy Award winning Netflix reboot series Queer Eye will be showing off his talents including gymnastics and 'hilarious tales of life as a nonbinary bad b***h' following a debut worldwide comedy tour Jonathan Van Ness: Road to Beijing.

The avid supporter of the LGBTQ+ community said about his new book Love That Story: "This book is a collection of essays that encapsulates so much of what I've been thinking about since Over the Top.

"There are so many dimensions to all of our humanity that I've observed through my life that I explore in this book, and I invite everyone to come along for the ride. From my experiences as a hairdresser-turned-entertainer to the HIV social safety net, imposter syndrome, and dealing with TERFs, there's nothing off-limits."

He continued: "Writing my second book, Love That Story, represents the growth I've experienced as an author, an entertainer, and a person. I can't wait for people to laugh along with me as I attempt to make sense of some of our most pressing issues."

The New York Times bestselling author added: "When you've stared down addiction, abuse, and trauma, you get bored with small talk. Give me authenticity.

"I want to keep learning, keep writing, and keep sharing with you as we do a whirlwind tour of topics that invite us to examine assumptions, expand horizons and learn more about what makes us all so messy and gorgeous.

"And I can't wait to share it all with you in my new book!"

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Thursday 16 December via AEGpresents.co.uk, AXS.com or ticketmaster.co.uk.
