Jason Manford was 30 minutes late for a gig in Lincoln on Saturday. And rather than citing stardom and the right to keep his fans waiting as long as he liked, he took to Facebook, apologised, and encouraged the 800-strong audience to help themselves to a drink from him while they waited.

The whole round cost him £3,500, and qualifies as one of the best-ever celebrity responses to running late.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
