The curtain will come down early on West End show Prick Up Your Ears after box office sales dwindled following Matt Lucas's withdrawal, producers have announced.

The Little Britain star pulled out of his starring role in the production following the suicide of his ex-partner just days into the show's London run.

Respected actor Con O'Neill was drafted in to complete the run, but ticket sales have not been strong enough to continue and it will close three weeks early.
