Jonathan Ross Pauses Celebrity Halloween Bash, Turns Home Into Public Spooky Display

He says his daughter's fibromyalgia prompted the shift to a quieter tradition.

Overview

  • Ross confirmed on The Traitors: Uncloaked podcast that he is not throwing his annual Halloween party this year, adding he might host one again in future.
  • He cited family health as the key factor, noting daughter Betty is managing fibromyalgia and that loud gatherings at home would be inconsiderate.
  • Cost and scale also played a part, with Ross saying the events "cost a fortune" and that he often did not personally know many adult guests.
  • Instead of hosting a celebrity crowd, he decorated his London home with an elaborate spooky setup and personally handed out sweets to trick-or-treaters on Friday.
  • His Halloween events were previously canceled in 2020 and 2021, and when they returned in 2022 they moved to Camden’s KOKO rather than his Hampstead residence.
