Rebel Wilson's book tour tickets in Manchester 'slashed by 75 percent' in new blow

The price of tickets for Rebel Wilson's book tour in Manchester has reportedly been slashed by 75 percent.

Pitch Perfect star Rebel, 44, has penned a memoir about her life, with the actor writing candidly in her own words. The book has been described as a "refreshingly candid, hilarious, and inspiring book about an unconventional journey to Hollywood success and self-celebration".

Also described as a "brave and honest memoir", Rebel touches on many eyebrow-raising topics, such as losing her virginity at a late age as well as all the celebrities she's not so keen on, and the ones she believes are not so keen on her. In order to promote her book, Rebel Rising, she has been embarking on a tour around the UK.

The star is stopping in London, Edinburgh and Manchester before continuing the tour in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. However, it has been reported that the ticket prices for her Manchester Opera House event have been slashed.

Writing in her memoir, Rebel told readers that she was a late bloomer and lost her virginity well into her thirties. "I was either so innocent, in my teens, or so busy making myself look grotesquely unattractive for comedic purposes, that no romantic opportunity ever presented itself," she penned.

She detailed her relationship with a producer named "Mickey" who she lost her virginity to while filming for How To Be Single. Rebel also made the bombshell claim that Sacha Baron Cohen made her feel "humiliated" when he allegedly asked her to perform a lewd act while filming for The Brothers Grimsby. Sacha has denied the claims.

Rebel claimed she was asked to do full-frontal nudity for the movie but used a body double for the scenes. She recently named the actor and writer as the film star she claimed caused issues with her and tried to stop her from mentioning him in her memoir. However, she told fans she "will not be bullied or silenced by high-priced lawyers" as she revealed him as the previously unidentified "massive a**hole".

In a statement, Sacha's representative said: “While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby."
