On Friday, Lisa confirmed that her show at Belfast's Ulster Hall would be unable to go ahead on November 30 and that she was "disappointed" but looking forward to the rescheduled show next year.

In a statement on social media, she said: "After what has been a truly traumatic and extremely worrying time for my family over the last couple of weeks, and as it stands, still being unsure on when Hallie will be well enough to get home from hospital, we unfortunately will have to reschedule our show in the Ulster Hall on 30th November.

"As disappointed as I am to do this, right now I have to put my baby, her wellbeing and my family first.
