BRASSY TV presenter Margi Clarke promised the audience at Burnley Mechanics sex, sex and more sex, but the blonde bombshell failed to turn up.

The quarter-full audience were all set for a strictly "adults only" night and had already written questions for the Good Sex Guide presenter (pictured).

At 8.10pm they were told that straight-talking Scouser Margi, who should have been on stage at 8pm, was stuck in traffic in Heywood.

The 125-strong audience filed out to the crowded bar.

By 8.30pm an announcer said they had received no further communication from Margi so the show was cancelled - causing queues at the box office as the audience, who had paid up to £8.50, waited for their money back.

Her agent Roy Hastings, from Manchester, said today: ""We just don't know what happened to her.

"This was the last date in her tour and the other 15 went fine."
